Former Maille mustard jar in glazed white earthenware, decorated in black with the famous titling of the Parisian house. This example corresponds to the first original version produced by Maille in the early 19th century, much earlier than later models that would use a similar inscription. Its old typographic decoration, the quality of its earthenware, and its beautiful patina make it a remarkable testament to the beginnings of Maille's commercial production in Paris. A rare and sought-after piece, both for grocery pot collections and for lovers of antique advertising faience.
