About the Item
Monumental Royal Vienna classical porcelain vase
Austria, 19th Century
Height 152cm, diameter 41cm
This magnificent vase was made by the renowned Royal Vienna Porcelain Manufactory in the 19th century. Loosely of baluster form and surmounted by a pinecone finial, this sensational ware is adorned with painted mythological scenes and ormolu decoration, also set against the rich red ground that has become a hallmark of Royal Vienna pieces.
Numerous painted friezes adorn the central body, neck, and foot of the vase. The two largest are on the obverse and reverse of the body and depict the story of Hero and Leander and the story of the Abduction of Europa respectively. The circular panels on each side of the vase depict female figures, with Hermione (the daughter of Menelaus) on one side and the goddess Flora on the other. Scenes on the neck and foot include a group of Maenads, and the image of Cupid tying Aglaia to a tree. All of these scenes are labelled with titles at the base of the image, either painted in gold (for the smaller examples) or engraved into the gilt border (for the larger). These panels are expertly painted and make the vase a celebration of the idealised beauty of the classical past.
All panels are set upon the red ground base, which is filled with gilt decoration. This decoration, like the friezes, is rooted in classicism, ensconcing floral, and acanthus leaf motifs within geometric ‘meandros’ bordering. Bird designs can also be seen hiding amongst the flowers and foliage.
A truly spectacular work that combines mythological history with European 19th century design, this monumental vase would make a superb addition to the appropriate interior.
Provenance: From the collection of the private museum of Sapporo Breweries Limited, Japan.

- A 19th C. Monumental Cobalt Blue Royal Vienna Porcelain Vase w/ Watteau SceneBy Royal Vienna PorcelainLocated in New York, NYA 19th Century Monumental Cobalt Blue Ground Royal Vienna Porcelain Covered Vase with Watteau Scenes. Marvel at the sheer magnificence of this very large, Monumental Royal Blue Ground Royal Vienna Porcelain Covered Vase, an exquisite masterpiece that will leave you in awe. The hand-painted Watteau Scenes on this vase depict a wonderful rural landscape that features a group of beautiful women in gorgeous gowns of burnt-orange, lavender, blue, white, pink, yellow, and apricot. The women are surrounded by a pastoral landscape and a lovely old tree painted realistically with twisted branches, where a cute plump cherub sits on one of the branches and looks down at the dynamic and festive looking women. Two of the women hold a lovely garland of pastel colored flowers, while the others swoon around or perch, leaning on a sweet-looking, doe-eyed white and grey cow that is lying on the ground seemingly enjoying the interaction as it twists its head around to lick its left leg. The foreground of the scene is adorned with detail that creates a sense of depth and perspective. The blue sky and puffy afternoon clouds surrounding the women add to the idyllic atmosphere of the painting. The vase's body is a beautiful deep shiny blue background with extensive delicate gilded decoration in a lace-like pattern surrounding the entire vase except for the painted scenes. The classic urn shape with a footed base and a lovely mounded lid adorned with a perfectly proportioned golden acorn finial. On the opposite side of the vase is another beautifully colored rural scene depicting a floating deer and two women in yellow...Category
