An authentic antique French confitures jar from the iconic Félix Potin, one of Paris’s most celebrated épiceries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This ceramic advertising jar features the classic Félix Potin transfer in warm sepia tones, depicting the firm’s Parisian facilities and proudly stamped “Confitures Fines – Félix Potin – Paris.”
These jars were originally used behind the counter to store preserves and dry goods, making them true artifacts of everyday French commercial history. Today, they are highly sought after for their graphic presence, age-earned patina, and ability to anchor a vignette with unmistakable French character.
This example presents beautifully, with a rich, timeworn glaze and crisp lettering that remains legible and well-balanced. A perfect piece for open shelving, a kitchen counter, or layered into a collected interior where authenticity matters.
Good antique condition consistent with age and use. Visible interior glaze wear, surface mottling, and kiln marks to the base, all typical for utilitarian advertising jars of this era. No cracks or repairs noted. Wear is purely cosmetic and contributes to the piece’s honest, storied character. Please review images closely, as they form part of the description.
Dimensions: 4X5.5
