About the Item

This 19th-century French vase de mariée is a stunning example of hand-painted porcelain, traditionally given as a wedding gift in France. Its Rococo-inspired shape features an intricate, sculptural design with elaborate curves and delicate detailing, evoking the opulence of the era. The front of the vase is adorned with a vibrant floral motif, meticulously hand-painted with a bouquet of roses, tulips, and yellow wildflowers. The bright colors contrast beautifully against the creamy white porcelain, creating a lively and romantic aesthetic. The gilded accents, seen throughout the piece, highlight the elegant contours and decorative flourishes, adding a luxurious touch. The cobalt blue embellishments, applied to the raised relief sections, further enhance its visual appeal, emphasizing the ornate craftsmanship. The initials “M.J.” at the base of the vase suggest either an artist’s signature or a personalization, which was common for these pieces when they were presented as wedding gifts. The underside of the vase bears additional markings, possibly indicating a production number or workshop identifier. The back of the vase is left unadorned, typical of 19th-century vases de mariée, as they were often placed against a wall or mantelpiece. This exquisite piece embodies the romantic spirit of French decorative arts and remains a cherished collector’s item.
