Porcelain Vases, Restoration Period.

This large pair of porcelain vases is painted, on a dark beige background, with large bouquets of polychrome flowers. They are arranged inside large reserves, surrounded by a wide ribbon in matt and shiny gold, decorated with a frieze of pastilles. The bottom of the vase, dark blue in color, is enhanced with a rich gold-colored decoration, consisting of a wave-like movement punctuated with florets which runs up to the neck. The latter, decorated with a fleuron, presents on either side two small garlands of leaves which climb to the slightly flared edge. These very high quality ornaments are reminiscent of the prestigious production of the Sèvres factory. These vases rest on a very elegant gilt bronze base bordered with two rows of pearls, and on the body between the reserves, there are two small gilt bronze falls representing a twig supporting a few ivy leaves. The back of these vases bears no mark, their high quality encouraged us to compare them to certain Parisian manufacturers, we thought in turn that they could be Dagoty, Rousseau, Honoré, Dihl or other, they many were able to compete with the Sèvres Manufacture, especially since the artists who decorated the porcelain went from one to the other according to their commitments. If these bouquets of flowers painted with great delicacy inspired us with the greatest respect, their composition on a colored background which seemed unusual to us did not allow us to attribute them to one or the other. The state of conservation of these vases is perfect, there is no restoration, the gilding of the bronzes is original. Parisian Manufacture. End of the Restoration, around 1840-1850. Height 52 cm.
