The golden Empire style lends an air of grandeur to the design, while the intricate latticework adds a sense of delicacy and allows light to play through. The white line across the top of the base further enhances the richness of the gold, creating a touch of intensity. The long rectangular base harmonizes beautifully with the oval shape, creating a visually balanced composition.

These vases stand 12.5" tall and measure 6" across the handles, with a depth of 4". Their dimensions and captivating design make them ideal as companions to the centerpiece or for adorning a mantelpiece. Both pieces are in very good to excellent condition. The basket has some small touches of gilt invisibly restored, while the vases are pristine. Background of Paris Porcelain: Old Paris porcelain, or Vieux Paris, was produced by numerous private factories clustered around the French capital and was known for its gilded opulence. The time frame for the production of Paris Porcelain extends from the late 18th century up to the 1870s. While most pieces are unmarked, their quality and style are unmistakable, making them highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs of fine porcelain.
