About the Item

Pair of French 19th century Empire porcelain two handles baluster-shaped vases. The body of each vase is in two-toned gold exceptionally tooled with matte and glazed gold. The vases feature two scrolling handles decorated with acanthus leaves. The gilding on these vases is dazzling, the delicate white painted band and the matte handles emphasize the mirror like quality of the gold in the higher part and in the central body of each vase. Each vase rests on a circular formed stem resting on a square plinth base. Excellent antique condition, with no chips, cracks, or restoration to the porcelain body. Only minor light wear to the gilding. A small hole on the base of each vase makes them ready to be electrified and turned into shimmering lamps! Measures: Height 34 cm, width 21 cm, depth 16 cm.
