19th C. French Bloch & Bourdois Porcelain Tea Caddy Ex. Christie's
About the Item
Mid-19th Century French Bloch & Bourdois Porcelain Tea Caddy with Gilt Rocaille Cartouches, Ex-Christie’s
A refined mid-19th century French porcelain tea caddy, circa 1850–1870, by Bloch & Bourdois, exquisitely hand-painted with a romantic scene on the front depicting a courting couple in an idyllic garden landscape. The reverse features a serene pastoral vista, both framed by sumptuous raised gilt rocaille cartouches, emblematic of the Rococo Revival style popular during the Second Empire period.
This finely modeled rectangular form with canted corners and a domed lid is embellished with scattered foliate sprays and delicately painted vines. Rich gilded detailing encircles the lid and base, enhancing its elegant profile. The caddy bears the underglaze blue crowned mark of Bloch & Bourdois to the underside and retains its original Christie’s auction label, denoting provenance from a prominent private collection at 960 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
