Pair of Gilt Bronze and Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Vases

About the Item

The vases in this pair feature the striking combination of Kangxi era (circa 1700) porcelain with later 19th century French gilt bronze. This type of combination—of Chinese porcelain with European, often French, additions, in this case gilt bronze mounts—is demonstrative of the Chinoiserie taste that proved so influential in European decorative art at the time this pair was produced. The bulb-shaped blue-and-white porcelain vases in the pair are painted with stylised depictions of Chinese vases, unfurled scrolls, and flowers, among other various Orientalising motifs. The porcelain in each vase is mounted with gilt bronze bases, twin rope-form gilt bronze handles, and gilt bronze lips on the porcelain rims.

  • Pair of Gilt-Bronze Mounted Chinese Celadon-Ground Porcelain Vases
    Located in Brighton, West Sussex
    A Pair of Large Gilt-Bronze Mounted Chinese Celadon-Ground and Slip Decorated Porcelain Vases. These vases of Chinese celadon porcelain from the late Quing Dynasty are slip-decorated with willow trees and prunus flowers. The finely sculpted gilt-bronze handles are modelled as winged merman term figures running on berried scrolled clasps to a rocaille raised foot. These superb vases are in the tradition for mounting Chinese porcelain with gilt-bronze accoutrements made by ciseleur-doreurs such as Pierre Gouthière for the marchand-merciers, namely Dominique Daguerre and Simon-Philippe Poirier. The practice continued into the nineteenth century when Prince Regent, later George IV (1762-1830), sent Chinese porcelain vases from the Royal...
