Sevres ....ginger jar?

This beautifully glazed piece caught my eye (glaze even more stunning in real life) got home and looks like a winner. Am I correct this is an older Sevres piece? (Not a remake or anything?)

Also would I call this a "ginger jar?" I found another on Live Auctioneers with the same shape, but that one was only 4 1/2 inches tall. I'm writing this from out of town so don't have the exact measurements, but you can see it in the photo next to the soup can, guessing 8 inches high plus or minus.

No chips or cracks which is great, but there are few small areas in the lid and near the top with discoloration inside as shown in last 2 photos, these spots have some texture, but don't seem to scrape off with some gentle prying with just my fingernail. Any special name for something like this -- seems like I've seen that on other older pieces.

Thanks for taking a look.

 

Ohhh, lovely ginger jar! There seems to be 2 of them on the liveauction website. I think the 2nd is the same?

It's beautiful. Great find.

 

Not all that old, though. 20th C.

Possibly 1930s, influenced by new glazing styles from English potteries. Not that I know beans about pots.

 

Liveauctioneers: 1st one sold for $400 and the 2nd for $450.

 

Wow, great! And this is large and has a lid--can't hurt. Thank you, everyone. The confirmation/dating/links/and sold prices. Super helpful and much appreciated. You guys are the best.

There is kind of a neat side story this. Husband, science guy, knows zilch about antiques, little interest unless they are going to sell for something, picks up the newspaper last week and notices an advertisement for a high end antique store. It had a photo of a Sevres vase, it was $900 or something, and DH to make conversation says, "Do you ever find these at a thrift store?" And I say "No."

So it was literally a week later, I spotted this piece on the shelf of a thrift. I did not think it was an antique due to the shape/colors --the colors still look 1960's/70's to me. It just had me perplexed, I suppose some little voice said, ("looks well done") and I turned it over. "Sevres"... hmmm, are they still in business? I mean look at the maker's stamp, the stamp design reminds me of 1990's. But the little tiny sticker looked old to me. Enough that I did a two minute search on my phone for MP Sevres, and the purchase suddenly became a no-brainer.

To DH's credit, he is going on and on about the glaze being amazing. And is happy I did find one of those after all.

 

Hi Lucille,
I am glad you posted this ginger jar. I used to do ceramics in the 60s and I loved painting ginger jars. This looks just like some of the ones I painted in a haze. I also did quite a few nice ones. Did several sets on commisson as cannister sets. Back to yours, if I saw it in a store I likely would not have even picked it up. I should not say that I might have picked it up to see if was one of mine. Anyway know I shall
start looking at these pieces.

Hi,
just sprinkle a little money his way. Careful you do not turn him into a monster. I had a friend who used to flee down the street when we ran into a dumpster and I dived in. The one day I stopped and looked in a dumpster and the only thing that looked nice was a small (thought brass) box. Harry took a look at it and his eyes bulged and he stopped breathing. Harry liked French Art Deco and I handed him a little jewel box bronze with a silver impala on it. he kept saying "I saw you find this in the trash". To make a long story short, Harry became a dumpster diver. His wife almost through him out of the house. He started dragging stuff home. Lisa blames me today for turning him into a pack rat.

...Sounds like he's hooked. Now ya just have to reel him in...

No chance of that -- which is fine. One of us in the house is plenty.
