Lily of the Valley in Blue Pimpernel Jug
A symbol of happiness
Each year, France celebrates Fête de Muguet, the festival of Lily of the Valley – and you can celebrate with them with this quintessentially English William Morris "Blue Pimpernel” jug, filled to the brim with pretty Lily of the Valley stems.
On May 1st, thousands of roadside stalls spring up across France, selling these delicate, bell-like flowers. It's a tradition with roots in the 16th century, when a young knight presented King Charles IX with a bunch of lily-of-the-valley as a token of luck and prosperity. Today, the fête is as popular as ever, and a home filled with these 'jolie' blooms is considered a happy home indeed!
