About the Item

Dimensions - H: 18 1/4 in W: 10 in D: 9 in This stunning pair of early 20th-century porcelain vases, attributed to the prestigious Old Paris manufactory, combines neoclassical elegance with romantic naturalism, making them a perfect example of French decorative artistry from the period. These vases are characterized by their rich burgundy hue, exquisite figural cherub decorations, and intricate hand-painted landscape scenes that evoke the tranquil beauty of a boat on water. The vases’ blend of vivid color, delicate porcelain craftsmanship, and pastoral imagery ensures that they are not only striking decorative pieces but also timeless works of art. Each vase is crafted from high-quality porcelain, with a smooth, glossy finish and a deep, lustrous burgundy glaze that highlights its sculptural form. The central figures of each urn are finely modeled cherubs, rendered in classic Rococo style, with soft, flowing poses that capture the innocence and joy associated with the angelic figures. These cherubs—one holding a garland of flowers and the other playfully leaning against the vase—are beautifully hand-painted in delicate hues, their soft features and intricate detailing adding a sense of realism and charm. What truly sets these vases apart are the captivating hand-painted landscapes that adorn the body of each urn. On the front of each vase, the artist has depicted a serene boating scene, with a small boat drifting gently along a river or lake. The vases are finished with elegantly curved handles that are adorned with gilded accents, enhancing their classical urn shape. The distressed gilding adds a touch of luxury, elevating the overall aesthetic and contributing to the vases’ sophisticated and refined character. The tops of the urns feature a decorative rim, often also accented with gold, further contributing to the sense of opulence and attention to detail that defines Old Paris porcelain. Attributed to Old Paris, these vases represent the finest traditions of French porcelain-making during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Old Paris porcelain is known for its intricate, hand-crafted designs, fine materials, and exceptional quality, and these vases are no exception. While the precise atelier responsible for these vases may not be definitively identified, their style and craftsmanship suggest they were produced by one of the leading porcelain manufacturers of the time, who catered to an elite clientele seeking decorative and functional art objects of the highest order. Ideal for collectors of fine porcelain or those with an appreciation for French 19th and early 20th-century decorative arts, this pair of figural cherub vases with hand-painted landscapes is a rare and exquisite find. Whether placed on a mantel, in a display cabinet, or as part of a carefully curated arrangement, these vases are sure to become treasured pieces in any collection, offering both beauty and a sense of romantic tranquility to any space. The pair is in good antique condition with the exception of finish loss to areas of gilding as well as some light surface scratches but otherwise good condition considering age and use. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to reach out and ask! - D&P Luxuries
