Pair Of Biscuit And Porcelain Vases – 19th Century

Superb pair of covered vases in biscuit and porcelain, of neoclassical inspiration, dating from the 19th century. These vases of great elegance have an amphora shape, decorated with bas-reliefs representing allegorical scenes with putti, finely sculpted in high relief in the matte white biscuit, contrasting with the slightly satiny ivory background. Their quadrangular pedestal is richly decorated with neoclassical motifs, including mascarons, volutes and friezes in light relief, highlighted with subtle gilded highlights. The elegantly curved handles, as well as the finely crafted lids, are embellished with porcelain and gilding details, reinforcing the refinement of the whole. These decorative vases perfectly illustrate the 19th century taste for the Louis XVI style and neoclassicism, with a marked influence of prestigious manufacturers such as Sèvres or Paris.
