AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large, polychrome porcelain and gilded ceramic covered vase, Napoleon III style.
Superb large covered vase in enamelled porcelain with a hand-painted polychrome floral design on a craquelé background.
The piece rests on an elegant gilded ceramic plinth richly adorned with Rocaille motifs and claw-shaped feet.
The body features a lush decoration of flowers and foliage in shades of pink, violet, blue, green and gold, inspired by French Napoléon III-style productions.
The side handles are finely worked, as well as the decorative crest on the lid, giving the piece a lot of character.
The interior is hollow, and the piece can be used as a decorative object, ornamental vase, or classical-style decor element.
Very beautiful decorative piece with a commanding presence, ideal for a classic interior, a collection of decorative porcelains, or an admirer of Napoléon III-style objects.
Good overall condition, original enamel cracks typical of this type of manufacture.
Gilding shows a few light signs of use consistent with the age of the piece.
One handle has undergone an old restoration; the repair is solid and practically invisible when the piece is displayed.
