Pair of Gilt Bronze Mounted Krater-Form Bisque Porcelain Vases

About the Item

Pair of gilt bronze mounted krater-form bisque porcelain vases French, 19th century Measures: Height 43cm, diameter 26.5cm The pair of vases is crafted in the neoclassical style from bisque porcelain mounted with gilt bronze. Each vase takes the form of a classical Greek krater, with a large and wide flared neck set above a relatively small domed belly. The belly of each is supported by a socle that spreads into a circular foot, which in turn is raised on a gilt bronze base. The porcelain throughout is largely unglazed (or bisque), though there are moments of parcel glazing: the top of the neck, the top of the belly, and the socle, for instance. Moreover, this parcel glazing is parcel gilt with fleur-de-lis and other foliate forms. The bisque porcelain is superbly moulded: the neck with a frieze of putti, the belly with spreading acanthus leaves. The underside of each is affixed with a sticker demonstrating a South American provenance.

    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...
