Pair 18th C. Chinese Imari Porcelain & French Ormolu Mounted Covered Cachepots

About the Item

A Magnificent and Rare Pair of 18th Century Chinese Imari Porcelain and Louis XVI Period French Ormolu Mounted Covered Cachepots. Chinese imari porcelain made in the 18th century is very rare to come across especially in this quality, size, condition, and form. The porcelain was later shipped to France in the late 1700's and ormolu mounts were created to be mounted onto the porcelain. The ormolu is mercury gilt and absolutely fantastic. Each section of the ormolu is hand-chased and hand-chiseled with the absolute finest quality and most beautiful casting. The handles are marvelous with scrolling foliage and dimpled covers. The porcelain is fantastic and exceptionally rare with an imari pattern that is rarely seen from China. The porcelain is decorated with Chinese harbor scenes and homes. The tops are beautifully hand-painted with four cartouches on each lid. The porcelain is further adorned with 24k gilt decoration. The Porcelain: China, Circa: 1740 The Mounts: France, Circa: 1780.
