A rare antique white earthenware advertising jar from the Jouan company, specializing in jams, candied fruits, and syrups. The address – 247 rue Saint-Honoré – suggests a prestigious location in the heart of Paris, near the Palais-Royal and Place Vendôme. This type of container, typical of the 1880s-1900s, was used to package high-quality sweet products, sold directly in the shop or delivered to the Parisian bourgeoisie. The elegant semicircular typography evokes early artisanal branding strategies. A piece that is both decorative and historically significant.
