An Unusual Pair of French Japanism Signed Pate Sur Pate & Gilt Porcelain Vases

About the Item

A Pair of French Japanism Signed CP & Co Pate Sur Pate and Gilt Porcelain Vases. This elegant pair of vases, crafted by CP & Co, exemplifies the aesthetic influences of Japanism in 19th-century French porcelain. Each vase features intricate pâte sur pâte decoration, a technique that layers delicate images in porcelain slip to create rich textures and depth. One vase presents a dynamic scene of a Japanese samurai in mid-action, poised to shoot arrows, capturing the martial spirit and elegance of the subject. The meticulous detailing of the samurai's attire and the surrounding elements enhances the narrative quality of the piece. The second vase depicts a serene picnic scene featuring a Japanese woman and children, rendered with a soft palette that conveys a sense of harmony and leisure. The delicate portrayal of figures and flora is characteristic of the pâte sur pâte technique, showcasing the artist's skill. Both vases are adorned with gilt dragon handles, adding a touch of opulence and reinforcing the Asian influence prevalent in the design. The contrast of the gilding against the porcelain enhances the overall aesthetic, creating a visually striking presentation. France, Circa: 1900
