An Authentic Pair of Antique Bavent Tin Glazed Faience Ducks

These charming antique ducks represent a fine example of early 20th-century French faience craftsmanship from the Bavent region. Created around the 1910s, the pair showcases the traditional tin-glazed pottery technique characteristic of Bavent faience. The tin glaze offers a luminous, opaque white background that beautifully highlights the details of the ducks plumage.

Each piece captures the elegance and rustic charm often found in provincial French ceramics of the period. The ducks are modeled with attention to anatomical accuracy and subtle shading, lending them a lifelike quality. Their serene poses and vivid coloration would have made them popular decorative objects in French country homes.

These faience ducks not only reflect the artistry and cultural heritage of Bavent pottery but also stand as collectible antiques prized for their historical and aesthetic value. In excellent condition considering their age, this pair would make a distinctive addition to any collection of French antiques or decorative ceramics.
