About the Item

A Fine Pair of 19th-Century French Japonisme Gilt Bronze-Mounted Porcelain Vases with Double Handles, Resting on Black Marble Bases, by Louis Pierre Malpass. The vases have an elongated ovoid body, a flared neck, and a domed lid with a finial. The gilt bronze handles curve outward and upward, terminating in volute-shaped scrolls. The neck and shoulder feature blue enamel accents. The front of each vase displays a hand-painted portrait of a woman in traditional Japanese attire. The portraits are framed within a circular reserve on a gilt ground adorned with incised floral patterns. One portrait features a woman wearing a purple garment, while the other depicts a woman in a striped kimono with a red collar. The reverse of each vase features a decorative medallion with a landscape scene in monochrome. One vase depicts a small structure among trees, while the other shows a pagoda-like building. The surrounding gilt surface is further decorated with incised floral and geometric motifs. The vases are mounted on square black marble bases with gilt decoration consisting of stylized floral motifs. The bases are stepped and slightly recessed at the sides. The artist's signature, "Louis Pierre Malpass," is visible on the painted portraits. France, Circa: 1890

French Japonisme Ormolu-Mounted Baccarat Crystal Vase with Bronze Turtle Feet

By Cristalleries De Baccarat

Located in New York, NY

A Gorgeous and extremely rare French Japonisme ormolu-mounted turtle footed Baccarat crystal vase designed with a gilt turtle design, Baccarat stamp on bottom. The quality and craftsmanship of this piece is second to none. Baccarat crystal is known to be the best crystal in the world and this piece appropriately demonstrates that. The crystal vase is seated on four beautifully cast and hand-chiseled ormolu turtles, representing the Japanese artistic movement in France at the time, known as 'Japonisme'. The body of the vase is a gorgeously hand painted with raised gold and enamel decoration of a turtle and various other decorations, making it seem as though the turtle is swimming in a lake. Underneath the turtle are painted rocks and mosses, while above the turtle are cherry trees, dropping their fruit into the water. On the reverse of the main panel are two turtles swimming...
