Pair of Antique Roman Porphyry, Grand Tour Period Hand-Carved Lidded Vases
About the Item
A very fine pair of antique roman porphyry, Grand Tour period hand carved lidded vases. These are a fabulous and quite decorative pair of porphyry lidded urns or vases. They are very well hand carved and hand-polished with variable stepped levels and a waisting socle that leads to a square porphyry base. Each is made of the finest quality of porphyry and hand carved by expert stone carvers. It was quite fashionable in the late 18th and early 19th century to travel abroad and purchase souvenirs by the very rich and high society. It is also remarkable for an original pair of vases to remain intact after so many number of years.
