Set of 2 Robj Paris ceramic figurines – Pastor & Farmer ca. 1955–1970

Beautiful and rare set of two handcrafted ceramic figurines from the famous French atelier Robj Paris, produced around 1955–1970. This charming duo – a friendly priest and a colorful peasant woman with a basket of fruit – embodies exactly the playful, optimistic, and lightly humorous character for which Robj Paris is known.

Both figures are executed in rich, glossy glaze with finely hand-painted details.
The pastor in a deep black cloak and hat, with a gentle, friendly face.
The farmer in a light blue dress with a yellow apron and a basket of red fruits.

The stylized, rounded shapes give the set a pronounced mid-century appearance, making them perfect for both modern and vintage interiors. Complete duo sets from this later Robj production are rarely found on the market and are highly sought after by collectors of French atelier ceramics.

About Robj Paris – an iconic French ‘éditeur’ of Art Deco and mid-century ceramics.

Robj Paris was founded by Jean Born (nicknamed Robj) and served as an important French publisher: a creative publisher of ceramics and design objects. The company did not produce items itself but commissioned renowned manufacturers such as Sèvres, Villeroy & Boch (Luxembourg), and various ateliers in Limoges and Boulogne-sur-Seine.

In the 1920s–1930s, Robj achieved enormous popularity with their whimsical, anthropomorphic figures, lamps, perfume burners, and especially their famous liqueur decanters. Elegance, humor, and refined craftsmanship were present in every design.

Although the absolute Art Deco heyday was in the 1920s, production—including later ceramic figures like this set—continued into the mid-century period. The marking 'Made in France – Robj Paris' confirms its authentic origin.
