This elegant set, featuring a coffee pot and a creamer jug, is a fine example of the craftsmanship from the Saint-Uze pottery in the Drôme region of France. Adorned with delicate blue floral motifs on a soft white glaze, both pieces showcase the classic "Bleus de Saint-Uze" style that became popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The coffee pot, with its tall, graceful spout and fitted lid, is paired beautifully with a rounded creamer jug, both stamped underneath by the potter with the mark "Terre d'Acier, Saint-Uze" in French.
Saint-Uze pottery is celebrated for its high-quality earthenware, characterized by its clean lines and intricate patterns, often inspired by the natural and agricultural surroundings of the region. The pottery from this village was highly regarded for both its aesthetic appeal and practicality, making it a staple in French households. This set would have been an essential part of a traditional French coffee service, used for serving freshly brewed coffee with cream.
Today, this matching coffee pot and creamer jug serve not only as functional kitchenware but also as decorative pieces that bring a touch of French provincial charm to any setting.
