Description
A pair of white glazed porcelain lidded urns in the Neoclassical style. Each urn features an ovoid body decorated with raised relief swags suspended from circular ring motifs. The zoomorphic handles are modeled as the heads and necks of panthers. The vessels have short, fluted necks and are supported by pedestal bases featuring a foliate leaf border above a Greek key meander pattern at the foot. The domed lids are finished with spherical finials. The pieces are finished in a monochromatic high-gloss white glaze. The underside of one base features a small rectangular gold-tone paper label reading 27845P and adhesive residue from a separate label. The other base has a vertically oriented hand-written paper label with the alphanumeric code H982. Each base has a small circular hole in the center from the manufacturing process. 17" H x 10" W x 8" D.
