Refined pair of polychrome majolica planters, semi-circular moon shape for wall mounting, known in France as bouquetières. These are elegant 18th-century furnishing accessories designed to be hung on the walls of rooms and intended to hold floral arrangements, thus contributing to enriching and embellishing the environments with a sought-after decorative effect. Executed with the "petit feu" technique, these planters are decorated through a third firing at a lower temperature, which allowed for a particularly rich chromatic palette, including the famous Cassius purple, clearly visible in the rendering of the tulips. This innovative decorative technique enjoyed great success in Europe in the mid-18th century and was perfected, among others, by the Hannong family's manufactory in Strasbourg. On the back of both is the brand with the linked letters "JH," referring to Joseph Hannong, an exponent of the famous family of ceramicists, active at the prestigious Strasbourg manufactory in the second half of the 18th century. Below the monogram appears the number "911," corresponding to the model of the characteristic "grooved wall pocket." These serial numbers were used within the manufactory to precisely identify the mold and dimensions of the artifact, allowing master potters to faithfully reproduce the moon shape before the piece was transferred to the pictorial decoration department. Both feature, on the upper surface, a series of circular openings intended to accommodate flower stems; the decoration consists of a refined bouquet of naturalistic flowers composed of tulips, roses, and small secondary flowers. The slight chips on the edges of these charming planters are not defects but signs of elapsed time, a precious testimony of a small but significant interlude in the history of European living in the 18th century. Dimensions: base 13x9.5 cm - height 10.5 cm
