Item Description
This early 20th-century glazed earthenware jar comes from the workshop of Pierre de Verclos in Nabeul, Tunisia. It features a striking decor of Tunisian ornaments rendered in a hazy washed effect, showcasing a rich palette of deep blue and green, accented with orange and manganese against a cream background. With a tall, tapered shape, the jar has two small handles at the top, and a blue line finishes the rim. In excellent condition, it is signed at the base and underneath in Arabic. With its captivating decor and distinctive form, this rare jar is a stunning example of early 20th-century craftsmanship from Nabeul
Pierre de Verclos established the ceramics workshop "La Fabrique" in Nabeul in 1920. The workshop quickly gained acclaim and expanded, contributing to the golden era of artistic pottery in Nabeul from 1925 to 1935 alongside the Chemla and Tessier workshops. It participated in international exhibitions and was included in various museum collections
