French porcelain covered vase from the mid‑20th century (circa 1950–1960), emerald green with gold and multicolour floral reliefs, two hand‑painted panels showing a Rococo‑inspired galant scene and a romantic landscape, numerous three‑dimensional flowers across the body and lid, original lid included, 28 cm wide, 40 cm high, 20 cm deep, about 5 kg, in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear.
Description from the seller
Spectacular French covered vase made of fine polychrome porcelain, richly decorated with abundant floral relief applications handcrafted.
The piece features an elegant emerald green background with gold botanical decoration and two large hand-painted reserves. In one of them appears a delicate rococo-inspired gallant scene, while the opposite shows a romantic landscape with classical architecture.
Notably, its numerous three-dimensional flowers applied by hand stand out, distributed across the body and the lid, as well as its stylized handles inspired by the Baroque.
This is a very decorative piece and representative of mid-20th-century French ornamental porcelain production, inspired by 18th-century models.
Condition
Very good overall condition.
Shows minimal wear consistent with age and small losses or occasional chips on some applied flowers, customary in this type of relief-decorated porcelain.
The photographs are part of the description and allow appreciating the piece's detailed condition.
