About the Item

A Monumental and Beautifully Enameled 360 Degree Decorated 19th Century Vienna Porcelain Vase with Ormolu Mount, Signed Wagner. The vase is decorated in 24K raised gold, with the center being a gorgeous hand-enameled beauty playing the Lyre. A beautiful, scantily-clad young woman playing the lyre stands in the center of the frieze on this monumental Vienna porcelain vase. It is gilded with floral enamel paneling, referencing the 19th century. The lyre is one of the oldest known stringed instruments, originally produced in the ancient river civilizations to honor the gods. Sumerian lures were quite rudimentary, formed by wooden framing inserted into a hollow basin, strings were wound around the frame to produce sound. The instrument was played often accompanied by singing or spoken word. It was a significant, artistic way to retell stories, entertain, or provide ceremonial fanfare to social gatherings. Vienna, Circa: 19th Century

A 19th C. Monumental Cobalt Blue Royal Vienna Porcelain Vase w/ Watteau Scene
By Royal Vienna Porcelain
Located in New York, NY
A 19th Century Monumental Cobalt Blue Ground Royal Vienna Porcelain Covered Vase with Watteau Scenes. Marvel at the sheer magnificence of this very large, Monumental Royal Blue Ground Royal Vienna Porcelain Covered Vase, an exquisite masterpiece that will leave you in awe. The hand-painted Watteau Scenes on this vase depict a wonderful rural landscape that features a group of beautiful women in gorgeous gowns of burnt-orange, lavender, blue, white, pink, yellow, and apricot. The women are surrounded by a pastoral landscape and a lovely old tree painted realistically with twisted branches, where a cute plump cherub sits on one of the branches and looks down at the dynamic and festive looking women. Two of the women hold a lovely garland of pastel colored flowers, while the others swoon around or perch, leaning on a sweet-looking, doe-eyed white and grey cow that is lying on the ground seemingly enjoying the interaction as it twists its head around to lick its left leg. The foreground of the scene is adorned with detail that creates a sense of depth and perspective. The blue sky and puffy afternoon clouds surrounding the women add to the idyllic atmosphere of the painting. The vase's body is a beautiful deep shiny blue background with extensive delicate gilded decoration in a lace-like pattern surrounding the entire vase except for the painted scenes. The classic urn shape with a footed base and a lovely mounded lid adorned with a perfectly proportioned golden acorn finial. On the opposite side of the vase is another beautifully colored rural scene depicting a floating deer and two women in yellow...
