Pair of Vases Made of Porcelain

About the Item

This elegant pair of vases exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of late 19th-century porcelain production, drawing inspiration from the renowned Sèvres manufactory in France. Crafted in Spain, the vases showcase a deep cobalt blue ground color, a hallmark of Sèvres porcelain, richly embellished with gilt decoration. Each vase is adorned with a charming hand-painted scene depicting figures engaged in everyday activities, adding a touch of whimsy and narrative to the overall design. The gilt decoration, applied with meticulous attention to detail, further enhances the visual appeal and creates a sense of luxury. The vases are mounted on elegant gilt bronze bases, adding to their grandeur and sophistication. These bases, with their intricate scrollwork and acanthus leaf motifs, are characteristic of the period and further enhance the overall aesthetic of the pair. Key Features: Sèvres-Style Porcelain: The deep cobalt blue ground color and gilt decoration are hallmarks of the renowned Sèvres porcelain manufactory. Hand-Painted Scenes: The addition of hand-painted scenes adds a unique and artistic dimension to the vases, elevating them beyond mere decorative objects. Gilded Bronze Mounts: The elegant gilt bronze mounts enhance the visual appeal and provide a luxurious contrast to the deep blue porcelain. Fine Craftsmanship: The meticulous painting, gilding, and overall execution demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship evident in late 19th-century porcelain production.
