A large Badonviller semi-porcelain jam jar, decorated in underglaze blue with an elegant typographic cartouche reading "Confitures fines Félix Potin," typical of Belle Époque productions intended for Parisian grocers. The deep blue hue, rarer than the green variant, the delicacy of the printed decoration, and the generous size make it a sought-after piece, both decorative and steeped in commercial history. The jar displays a beautiful antique patina, with a homogeneous and authentic network of crackles, characteristic of this type of production.
