Art Deco planter with peony design, made of Gien earthenware, circa 1940
Created by the artisan painters and earthenware makers at the Gien factory (Loiret, France), this rectangular planter—a quintessential Art Deco piece featuring the so-called “Peonies” design—is a fine example of French craftsmanship.
The Gien factory is an internationally renowned institution in the world of French earthenware and tableware. It was founded in 1821 by the English industrialist Thomas Edme Hulm, with the ambition of creating earthenware using French techniques and an English style.
Inspired by Gien’s golden age in the late 19th century, this iconic “Peony” design is a reissue from the 1940s. It features flowers from the peony family—originally from Japan—in a variety of organic, polychromatic forms inspired by the Art Nouveau movement, combined with a Japanese-inspired aesthetic and a purely Art Deco geometric shape.
Fast and careful shipping to France, Europe, and worldwide.
