Empire-style White Porcelain Footed Bowl, Richly Decorated In Fine Gold

White porcelain footed bowl, richly decorated in fine gold in an Empire spirit.

The decoration, of great elegance, features a laurel wreath framing a bee, the imperial symbol par excellence, repeated in a frieze with stars around the rim.

The interior repeats this same decorative vocabulary, creating a very harmonious whole.

The well-balanced form rests on a pedestal also adorned with laurel friezes and highlighted with wide gilded fillets.

The quality of the gilding, still quite bright, underlines the decorative and refined character of the piece.

Nineteenth-century work in the taste of prestige productions inspired by the First Empire, close to the models made for the great houses of Paris or Limoges.

An ideal decorative piece as a centerpiece or fruit bowl.
