A French Large Napoleon Vase. Signed H. Desprez, Sèvres. Late 19th Century
The vase has an inverted ovoid shape, finely painted with a Napoleonic battle scene. The lids are adorned with a gilded "N" in relief and a crown, flanked by oak and laurel branches with berries. The neck features a spread-winged eagle, while the flared base is decorated with golden designs and inscribed with the date of the Battle of 1807, resting on a recessed gilt bronze structure.
