Emaux de Longwy – Hand-Painted Cloisonné Jug, France
This hand-painted jug hails from the renowned French manufactory Emaux de Longwy and was produced between 1955 and 1975.
Longwy Stylistic Elements:
It features the colorful cloisonné enamel decoration typical of Longwy: vibrant floral vines set against a deep black background—a lively interplay of color, form, and contrast.
The surface decoration was applied by hand and fired under glaze—an intricate process that lends the object its unmistakable allure.
On its underside, the jug bears the characteristic base mark featuring the Longwy coat of arms, the inscription "Émaux décoré à la main" as well as the decoration and model numbers F-3744 / D-5674.
Longwy enamel pieces tell a story of French design history, making them an ideal choice for collectors of Mid-Century art ceramics.
