"The true collector is more interested in the quest than in the possession" Umberto Ecco

That's how these two collections began, with the quest for a first earthenware, a first pharmacy jar... then for many others, the pleasure of the search and curiosity doing the rest.

Mr. M., a pharmacist, collected all these pharmacy jars out of a passion for the different products they could contain, but also for their various production centers, particularly the French ones. His collection comprises some 300 jars.

The collection of Mr. Pierre Dhers, well known in the world of ceramics, is rich in several hundred pieces, particularly centered on Vieux Longwy, but also "Valentine" porcelain and many other centers. The sale offers a very interesting overview of his collection.

We would like to thank the collectors and their families for the trust they have placed in us by entrusting us with their ceramics and allowing us to be the bearers of their passion.
