Pair 19th C French Dore Bronze Mounted Sevres Cobalt Blue Porcelain Ground Vases

About the Item

An Incredible Pair of Large 19th Century Louis XVI Style French Dore Bronze Mounted Sevres Cobalt Blue Porcelain Ground Vases. This pair of vases showcase the exquisite ornamentation and detailed craftsmanship of French porcelain manufacturing. The vases are urn-shaped: featuring a bulbous vessel with a flared mount and neck. Dore bronze textured handles are attached to either side. The vessel itself is a deep cobalt blue, but it is heavily adorned with warm ormolu embellishment. Ormolu decoration frames the center of the vase’s frieze where there is an image of a young couple. In each of the paintings, a noble young woman is being courted by a young man. The two sit beneath a tree on a clear spring day. This lovers scene is known as a Watteau Lover's scene and was started by Antoine Watteau in the early 1700's. The double sided paintings are very rare to find as most Sevres vases have only one sided paintings. The dore bronze quality is also magnificent with hand-chased and hand-chiseled motifs. Both vases are hand-adorned with heavy raised 24K gilt decoration of exquisite quality. France, Circa: 1870's
