There is just a hint of pinky-violet added to the glaze inside the neck. Very good condition, measuring 7.5 in. height x 8 in. diameter (at widest point). Fully marked: heraldic helmet flanked by P & H over Pierrefonds with form number 328 impressed underfoot. At the end of the 19th century, Count Olivier de Sorra's French factory, Pierrefonds Pottery, was known for the production of Fine stoneware with artistic crystalline glazes. In 1903, The company became The Societe Faienciere Heraldique de Pierrefonds Pottery studio, continuing their production of sophisticated forms enveloped in crystalline and flambé glazes.
