Louis XVI Ormolu-Mounted Chinese Celadon Crackle Vases with Dolphin Handles

About the Item

A beautiful pair of Baluster form Louis XVI style Ormolu-mounted Chinese Celadon crackle vases with dolphin handles. The porcelain was made in China between the late 1700s and early 1800s. The porcelain was then sent to France in the 19th century where the doré bronze mounts were applied. All the doré bronze mounts are superbly cast and hand-chased with exceptional detail. The handles of the vase are the most striking in appearance. The top of each handle starts with a scrolling design which leads into a dolphin face. The dolphins are connected to one another with beautiful vine-like garlands. The vases are held-up by two acanthus leaf bases with circular garland mounts. The fine quality of the Ormolu mounts of these vases, the hand chasing, and the fine gilt doré gold is easily attributable to Escalier de Crystal of Paris. They were known for mounting fine early Chinese ceramics in the 1800s. Truly a magnificent pair of vases, they can easily be turned into a fine pair of lamps. France, circa 1830.
