AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A pair of large covered vases in the Sèvres style with 'Bleu Céleste' and hand-painted floral cannelures - France
An exceptionally decorative pair of French porcelain covered vases (urns) in the opulent Louis XV style, produced in the second half of the 19th century
The vases stand out for their dynamic, spiral-twisted bodies (wrythen bodies). The bands are alternately decorated with the famous bleu céleste (turquoise) and hand-painted floral garlands in a refined purple palette (camaïeu pourpre). Centrally, a three-dimensional relief cartouche is applied in the form of a striped garland. The vases rest on a fluted stalk and a sleek, square plinth with geometric gold decoration. The lids repeat the spiral pattern and are crowned with a porcelain flower knob. The underside features the blue apocryphal (pseudo) Sèvres mark with the letter 'K'. The vases are mounted using the characteristic 19th-century central iron screw-thread connection.
Dimensions:
Height: 38 cm incl. lid
Base: 10 x 10 cm
Condition:
In very good, authentic condition.
The porcelain is free of chips, cracks (hairlines) or restorations. The original patinated brass neck mounting ring sits loose due to dried 19th-century mounting putty (no porcelain damage, see detail photo). The gilding shows light, atmospheric wear consistent with age.
Shipping:
Professional, shock-resistant packaging with double-thick cardboard boxes and padding. Worldwide, insured and registered shipping via PostNL or DHL.
For the Netherlands, pickup is preferred.
