A Large 19th Century Vienna Porcelain Vase w/ Ormolu Mount, Signed Wagner

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
