Description from the seller
Large artistic vase – 19th century
Splendid and important decorative vase in glazed ceramic, entirely hand-painted, attribuited to the famous French manufactory Jacob Petit, among the most refined and sought-after decorative productions of 19th century Paris.
The piece immediately captivates with its extraordinary ornamental richness and the scenographic taste typical of the great 1800s French productions. The surface is magnificently decorated with elaborate floral volutes and plant motifs in deep cobalt blue, enhanced by gold details and important oval reserves painted in monochrome purple/manganese.
The central panels depict refined romantic lakeside landscapes, architectures, naturalistic compositions and still lifes with fruit and grape clusters, executed with notable painting quality and a nearly miniaturist sense of detail. The color palette, the meticulous detailing and the decorative layout fully evoke the eclectic and sumptuous taste of Jacob Petit’s production.
The vase’s broad and harmonious form, with a rounded body and a cylindrical decorated neck, gives the object a striking stage presence, making it a highly decorative and collectible piece.
The interior features a dark glazed finish; the base shows normal traces of use in keeping with the period and intended use. The overall condition is very good, with no evident breaks, and with light and physiological signs of time compatible with the age of the piece.
Our interior designer/architect recommends: perfect as a focal element in classical, eclectic or neoclassical settings at a high level. Ideal on a substantial console, a scenographic bookcase or a central table, where the contrast between cobalt blue, white glaze and monochrome scenes creates an extremely elegant and sophisticated decorative effect.
Dimensions:
Height: 28 cm
Maximum width: 23 cm
Opening diameter: 14.5 cm
