About the Item

This exquisite late 19th-century Vienna porcelain charger features a vibrant depiction of “Venus in the Forge of Vulcan.” The scene captures the mythical goddess of love, Venus, surrounded by a group of elegantly rendered figures, including Vulcan, the god of fire and craftsmanship. Set against a richly detailed background, the artwork showcases intricate brushwork and a striking color palette, highlighting the craftsmanship of the period. The ornate gold and floral embellishments that frame the central image further enhance its visual appeal. This piece exemplifies the opulence of Vienna porcelain artistry, reflecting both mythological themes and the era’s artistic sensibilities. Batch 84 57357. BSLKN
