Description
This Sevres style porcelain vase is mounted in an elaborate gilt bronze or ormolu frame. The tall, ovoid porcelain body is finished in a white ground and decorated on both sides with hand-painted vignettes depicting groups of cherubs or putti amidst clouds. One scene features five cherubs lifting a large basket of flowers, while the reverse shows five cherubs gathered around a sheet of paper. The body is further embellished with small, scattered hand-painted floral sprays. The ornate metal mounts include a flared, pierced rim and a tripod stand with scrolling foliate supports, lion mask handles, and cast floral garlands. The stand terminates in animal-paw feet resting on a square, stepped base with acanthus leaf corners and a central sunburst motif. The interior contains a separate metal liner. No maker marks or factory stamps were found on the underside of the base. 16″ H x 8″ W x 8″ D. Location: 8B
Condition report:
The porcelain body is in good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The gilt bronze mounts exhibit a matured patina with some expected wear to the gilding on high-relief areas. The interior metal liner shows spotting and oxidation consistent with age and use.
