Description from the seller
Large Decorative Lidded Urn with Ram’s Head Handles – Cobalt Blue & Gilt – 57 cm – ca. 1930–1955
Description
Impressive and richly decorated large porcelain urn with lid, executed in deep cobalt blue with abundant gilt decoration. The body is adorned with refined gold ornamental motifs and features an oval cartouche with a romantic 18th-century pastoral scene, signed “M. Languet”.
The urn is flanked by sculptural gilt ram’s head handles, giving the piece a strong classical presence inspired by French Sèvres style. The lid is crowned with a flame-shaped finial, and the urn stands on an elegant square base with gilded accents.
With a height of 57 cm, this is a substantial and eye-catching decorative object, highly suitable as a statement piece in a classic, château, or eclectic interior.
