Antique Jam Jar w/ Plum Motif from Savoy 3½"

This is a handcrafted pot à confiture jar, likely from the early 20th century, featuring the pale yellow glaze typical of the Savoie region in France. The cylindrical jar is adorned with a simple yet charming hand-painted design of a plum branch with two blue plums and green leaves. The minimalist and naive style of the fruit decoration reflects the essence of Art Populaire, where everyday items were crafted with practical beauty and local artistic tradition.

A mark on the bottom, "Sciez" along with the number four, indicates that this piece originates from the little town of Sciez in Haute-Savoie.

The smooth, glossy glaze gives the jar a soft sheen, and its sturdy form and slightly flared rim indicate its functional purpose, likely used for storing homemade jams or preserves. The jar is a lovely example of rustic French pottery, combining utility with a touch of decorative charm. Perfect for a vintage-inspired kitchen or as a collector’s piece, this jar evokes the simplicity and authenticity of rural French craftsmanship.
