The upper section is adorned with intricate gilt scrollwork, while the sculptural handles—formed as entwined branches with gilded leaves and buds—create a dramatic and ornamental silhouette. These dynamic handles extend from the rounded base to the flared neck, highlighting the technical mastery of the artisan.
The reverse is decorated in a more restrained fashion, with delicate gold floral motifs on a white ground, providing visual balance and elegance. While one of the vases shows a minor historical restoration, the overall condition remains very good and the decorative impact is undiminished.
Unmarked, as is often the case with porcelaine de Paris, these vases are stylistically close to the work of makers such as Jacob Petit or Samson, circa 1850–1870.
A bold and beautiful pair for any mantel, console, or fine porcelain collection.
