Antique French Saint-Uze Style Blue Floral Creamer

Age / Period:

Late 19th to early 20th century, circa 1890–1920.

Origin / Source:

Sourced in France.

Measurements:

Approximately 4 inches tall × 3½ inches wide from handle to spout.

Top measures approximately 2⅞ inches from spout to back, with a 2¼-inch opening and a 2⅜-inch diameter base.

Material:

Glazed ceramic with cobalt-blue floral decoration.

Description:

A petite antique French Saint-Uze style creamer with delicate cobalt-blue floral decoration over a warm creamy glaze.

This example has especially charming details including a small floral motif on the handle. Its softly rounded form and scattered blue decoration give it the collected character of old French country kitchen pottery.

The base is unmarked apart from a handwritten number 6, so the exact maker is unknown.

Condition:

Good antique condition with wear consistent with age and use.

A stable hairline fracture is present across the underside. There is also light surface wear and natural glaze variation throughout.

Use & Styling:

Beautiful displayed among antique ironstone, blue-and-white pottery, or a collection of small French pitchers.

Its petite scale also makes it lovely on a breakfast tray, kitchen shelf, or filled with a single small flower or clipped garden stem.
