Pair Of Empire Period Vases Attributed To Dagoty – Vases Of The Seasons. Allegory Of Music

Magnificent and rare pair of spindle vases "Allegory of Music and the Seasons", from the Empire period, attributed to the Empress's porcelain factory, Dagoty, the following elements of which are described below.
The attributes of the Empire are admirably painted: the lyre, the sphinxes, the green olive crown, all on a wine-colored background.
As handles, two golden chimeras stand out from each vase.

Characteristic of the Dagoty house in Paris, a superb garland of white biscuit flowers adorns the rim of the vases in relief.
It is a remarkable technique where the artisan-artist placed petal by petal.
Depending on the season, one of the two sides of the vases was oriented: in spring/summer: open flower petals, and in autumn/winter: closed flower petals.

The brilliant gilding that adorns these two vases is remarkably executed and preserved.
The base of the vases is in white porcelain.

Under the vases, a very discreet signature in the shape of an 8 can be seen, which probably corresponds to one of the artisans (painter, gilder or sculptor).

Dimensions: Total height 25 cm. Square base of 8 cm on each side.

The vases are in perfect condition, no cracks or chips.
