Gilt Bronze Mounted Porcelain Vase in the Manner of Sèvres
About the Item
Gilt bronze mounted porcelain vase in the manner of Sèvres,
French, late 19th Century
Measures: Height 123cm, width 53cm, depth 42cm
This large porcelain vase demonstrates the best of late 19th century French design. The vase is wrought from porcelain and gilt bronze, with the porcelain crafted in the manner of the famous Sèvres manufactory.
The vase features a tapered conical body broadening at the shoulder, raised above an integral socle atop a cylindrical podium. The neck of the vase narrows, flaring to a wide rim that is surmounted by a domed cover. The dark blue porcelain throughout is superbly parcel gilt, the gilding arranged into scrolling, flowing motifs and delicately tooled. The front and the reverse of the podium are painted with landscape scenes, while the front of the body of the vase is painted to the front with a large genre scene in the 18th century manner and to the reverse with a landscape scene of a similar style to those adorning the podium.
The shoulders of the vase are set with twin gilt bronze masks, each modelled as a grotesque fawn. The cover is surmounted by a porcelain pinecone finial.
The painting to the front of the vase is signed ‘La Bergère / des Alpes’ and ‘E. Aubrey’ for the copyist and the original artist. The underside of the podium is marked with a spurious underglaze mark for Sèvres.

- Sèvres Porcelain Garniture, Mounted in Gilt Bronze by PicardBy Henri Picard, Manufacture Nationale de SèvresLocated in London, GBWith its delightful painted representations of the four seasons and bacchanalian scenes, this ‘bleu celeste’ garniture demonstrates the technical excellence of Sevres factory porcelain. On top of this, the porcelain vases are beautifully decorated with gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts, expertly cast by Henri Picard, the manufacturer and gilder to Emperor Napoleon III. This garniture is comprised of a central jardinière and a pair of flanking vases. The jardinière features a wide porcelain body, which is topped by a gilt bronze guilloche-patterned neck. This is fitted with two geometric handles, which terminate in cherubs masks. The jardinière body is finely decorated with a continuous painting of putti playing together in a woodland setting. One putti holds the pinecone-tipped staff carried by followers of Bacchus (or Dionysus), the god of wine and ecstasy. Several putti ride on a goat, led on a harness by other putti. This painting is edged with jewelled and parcel gilt decoration, set against a bright ‘bleu celeste’ ground. The jardinière stands on a shaped gilt bronze stem, its top encircled by a band of stiff leaves, its middle by a laurel wreath, and its foot by beading. The jardinière is placed on a square gilt bronze plinth, which is decorated with grape-form finials, hung draperies and foliate motifs, and is set on four beaded toupie feet. The pair of vases are similar to the jardinière in their design. They feature ovoid ‘bleu celeste’ porcelain bodies, which are decorated with continuous paintings of the four seasons, within gilt and jewelled frames. Winter is depicted in a scene showing putti huddled together on a sleigh in a snowy landscape, and autumn by cherubs reaping crops with a sickle. Spring is shown by cherubs wearing flower wreaths and dancing while holding garlands, and summer by putti picking grapes and drinking wine. The vases’ bodies are topped by pointed gilt and jewelled ‘bleu celeste’ porcelain lids, crowned by gilt bronze grape finials. Like the jardinière, the vases are fitted with gilt bronze cherub...Category
