Pr. Chinese Kangxi Famille Vert Porcelain French Ormolu Mounted Solider Vases

About the Item

A Magnificent, Rare, and Large Pair of Chinese Kangxi (18th Century) Famille Vert Porcelain French Louis XVI Style (19th Century) Ormolu Mounted Solider Vases. These monumental vases are intricately enameled in sea foam, forest green, beige, black, and white. This color palette is typical of the famille verte style of porcelain, a practice developed in the Kangxi period in the late 17th century using different shades of green and red as over-glaze colors. The famille verte green ground is decorated with rosettes alternating in color between brownish-red and dark yellow, this is specific to the Kangxi color palette. Each vase consists of multiple large cartouche panels, each with symbolic Chinese decorations. Underneath and above the large cartouches are smaller cartouches which include decorations of birds, as well as other symbolic Chinese decorations. Within the space, there are finely detailed images of decorative vases. The top and base have incredible French hand-chased and hand-chiseled ormolu mounts of the most incredible quality, with laurel wreaths, and Greek key-scroll feet. Vases of this size, quality, condition, age, and color palette are extremely desirable and very difficult to find. Porcelain: China: Circa: 1715 Ormolu Mounts: Pairs: Circa: 1860
