Limoges Porcelain Dragon Handle Man of North Jean Pouyat Red Currants Tankard Pitcher

A Limoges French porcelain ewer-style tankard pitcher by Jean Pouyat, featuring an ornate dragon handle and spout sculpted as the face of the "Man of the North" deity. Hand-painted throughout with vibrant red currants and intertwining green leaves, this piece showcases exceptional artistry and striking sculptural form. The dramatic mythological imagery combined with delicate botanical details creates a truly distinctive collector's piece. Approximately 10½" tall. Jean Pouyat factory underglaze mark (circa 1891). Excellent condition with minimal age wear—no chips, cracks, or crazing. A small paint smudge on the lower handle is original to production, likely an artist's fingerprint beneath the glaze, adding to its authenticity.
