Hergé / Moulinsart – Ceramic Planter with Saucer
Theme: "Le Crabe aux Pinces d’Or" (The Crab with the Golden Claws)
This authentic collectible ceramic planter (cache-pot) features iconic illustrations from the 1941 Tintin adventure, Le Crabe aux Pinces d’Or. Part of the official Moulinsart merchandising line, this piece translates Hergé's legendary "Ligne Claire" style into a high-quality decorative object.
Details & Design
Front Illustration: Tintin and Captain Haddock trekking through the Sahara desert, followed by Snowy (Milou) carrying a bone.
Back Illustration: The trio seen from behind, walking toward the horizon, maintaining the narrative flow of the scene.
Official Markings: * The planter base is inscribed with "Les Aventures de Tintin".
The saucer is titled "Le Crabe aux Pinces d’Or".
The underside features the official Tintin & Snowy logo and the copyright "Hergé / Moulinsart", confirming its provenance.
Specifications
Dimensions: Approximately 14 cm (at rim) x 12 cm (total height including saucer).
Material: Glazed ceramic (earthenware).
Period: Produced circa late 1990s – early 2000s.
Origin: Designed in Belgium; these ceramic series were typically manufactured in Portugal or France for Moulinsart.
Condition Report
Structure: Includes a functional drainage hole.
Visuals: Colors remain vibrant with a high-gloss finish.
Condition: Very good overall condition. There is a minor hairline graze on the inner rim (visible in photos) and light shelf wear on the unglazed underside of the base. No major chips or structural repairs.
Auctioneer’s Note
Ceramic items from the Moulinsart "Lifestyle" collection are highly sought after by "Tintinophiles" for their practical use and faithful adherence to Hergé's original color palette. This specific model captures one of the most pivotal moments in the series: the first desert journey of Tintin and his new companion, Captain Haddock.
