Majolica from Salins-les-Bains, a picturesque town in eastern France, gained prominence in the 19th century for its vibrant, tin-glazed earthenware. The production was heavily influenced by Italian Renaissance ceramics, blending rich, colorful glazes with intricate designs. Salins-les-Bains became a notable center for majolica during the Industrial Revolution, with local factories producing a wide range of decorative and utilitarian pieces, such as plates, jugs, and jardinieres. The region's natural resources, including clay and salt, played a significant role in supporting this thriving industry. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, majolica from Salins-les-Bains was celebrated for its artistic quality and became sought-after by collectors worldwide.

Perfect for serving beverages, cream, or syrup, this set also doubles as playful décor. Use them as vibrant vases for fresh flowers, or display them on a kitchen shelf or dining table to bring the joyful essence of the French countryside into your home.
