About the Item

An impressive Sèvres style gilt bronze mounted porcelain vase and cover, the base with an integral clock. This large and unusual vase has a domed cover with an acorn finial above a trumpet shaped neck with a gilt bronze collar supporting two finely cast putti holding foliate garlands. The main body of the vase is of inverted ovoid form with a cobalt blue ground centred by a finely painted vignette of Venus, Adonis and Cupid to the front and a naturalistic landscape to the reverse, all within tooled, gilt and jewelled reserves. The vase is supported by a conforming pedestal centred by a circular porcelain clock dial painted with cherubs and Roman Numerals. The sides with conforming pastoral vignettes. The square section gilt bronze base having finely cast gilt bronze cherubs playing the horn to each corner. The clock movement stamped ‘Hersanti, Paris.’ In late 1739-early 1740 the Sèvres porcelain factory opened in the Royal Château of Vincennes, 16 years later in 1756 the factory moved to the village of Sevres located outside of Paris and in route to Louis XV's Palace of Versailles where it became the preeminent porcelain manufacturer in Europe. When the company ran into financial difficulties, the King who had become an avid client bought out the shareholders and became the sole owner. The factory remained in the royal family until it was nationalized following the French Revolution. The range of objects produced in the first half of the 19th century was enormous, as were the types of decoration that they employed. The Sèvres factory produced 92 new designs for vases. The factory is still in production today.

Very Large Antique French Sevres Style Porcelain Vase

By Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres

Located in London, GB

Very large antique French Sèvres style porcelain vase French, Late 19th Century Height 154cm, diameter 41cm This fantastic vase is the work of J. Pascault, a famed porcelain artist of the late 19th Century who specialised in the production of Sevres-style pieces.

The vase is tall and slender in shape, set on a gilt bronze plinth, and surmounted by a cover with a pinecone finial. Its ovoid body is decorated around its exterior in the Rococo taste: showing a female figure and winged putti in a landscape...
