Blue De Sèvres Porcelain Vase With Gilding, Manufacture Nationale De Sèvres, Ca. 1940

Elegant porcelain vase from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres, featuring gold decoration on a deep cobalt blue background.

The vase features a beautiful baluster shape, with a slightly flared neck, a decoration of small stylized gold insects on the body, and gold bands at the neck, shoulder, and base. The midnight blue background, characteristic of the elegance of Sèvres productions, creates a very beautiful decorative effect.

The underside bears the circular red stamp “Manufacture Nationale Doré à Sèvres”, accompanied by painted marks. This stamp indicates that the gilding was done in Sèvres. The visible letter appears to be H / AH, which suggests the piece dates to the 1940s, likely around 1948, subject to expert confirmation.

A beautiful 20th-century French decorative piece—understated, refined, and easy to incorporate into a classic or contemporary interior.
