Monumental Pair Porcelain Hunting Scene Vases w/ Platinum and Gilt Decoration

About the Item

Magnificent in scale and adorned with opulent detailing were created in 1876 and bear the signature of A. Carrier Hammer, these monumental baluster vases stand at an impressive height of 43½ inches. The everted mouths are embellished with a gilt shoulder featuring a stylized key-pattern, while the upright scroll-handles are intricately molded with acanthus leaves and adorned with anthemion terminals. The vases showcase exquisite painting depicting two distinct hunting scenes—one portraying a pack of dogs attacking a wild boar, men on horseback in pursuit and the other capturing the dogs in pursuit of a majestic stag. The reverse of each vase features a serene landscape, complete with twisted old trees, flowing water, and dramatic sheer cliff-faced mountains. The lower body of the vases are adorned with four stylized angular lion masks, adding a touch of regality to the design. Resting on an acanthus-molded socle and a conforming foot, these vases are incredible works of art. The meticulous craftsmanship, platinum and gilt decoration, and the narrative scenes painted on these Continental Porcelain vases make them a captivating exhibit in any museum.
