This Morgaine necklace features imagery drawn from late-18th-century French faience, likely produced in the Moustiers tradition, where delicate floral motifs and pastoral ornament were rendered in soft polychrome enamels. These wares were everyday objects—plates, sugar bowls, and serving pieces—yet they carried extraordinary care in their decoration, meant to bring beauty into domestic life.

The floral image here feels both ornamental and intimate, a small decorative moment lifted from its original setting and given new presence. Paired with a turquoise drop, the necklace holds a quiet balance between refinement and earthiness—decorative, but never precious for its own sake.

Collectors Notes:
Moustiers faience flourished in southern France in the 18th century, prized for its painterly surface decoration and gentle color palette. I’m drawn to these pieces because they were made to be used—handled, washed, lived with—yet still carried artistry into the everyday. Turquoise felt like a natural companion here, echoing the mineral tones often found in historic ceramic glazes and grounding the piece as a small, wearable fragment of domestic history.
