This exquisite majolica pitcher by Mouzin Leach & Cie from Nimy is a remarkable example of 19th-century Belgian artistry.

Crafted with a richly hued glaze, the piece showcases the company’s distinctive blend of naturalistic motifs and Art Nouveau influences. The scene is endearing: several people, men and women, meeting up in the village square, drinking beer, chatting, laughing. To me, the handle is especially impressive, formed like a branch.

Mouzin Leach pitchers are known for their vibrant tones and expert glazing techniques, often inspired by organic forms and natural elements.

This pitcher, with its rich, intricate detailing and beautifully painted relief patterns, embodies the timeless charm of European majolica and stands as a highly collectible piece, radiating elegance and heritage.
