Pair of porcelain vases with hand-painted scenes and gilded decoration, from Paris, France, in Empire style (circa 1750–1800), each about 17×25×11 cm and together weighing about 6 kg.
Description from the seller
Pair of porcelain vases with hand-painted scenes and gilded decorations.
These porcelain vases with gilded decorations and hand-painted scenes embody the elegance of the French Empire style, popular at the end of the eighteenth century. The depicted scenes show figures in period costumes in pastoral or mythological settings, typical of Paris porcelain productions and European manufactories of the era. These vases were made as prestigious decorative objects for aristocratic and bourgeois homes.
These vases are particularly appreciated by collectors of antique porcelain and enthusiasts of eighteenth-century decorative art. Their charm lies in the refined execution of the painted scenes, the elaborate gilding, and the classic amphora-shaped form with scroll handles. Such pieces are sought after for both their historical value and their ability to enrich classical and elegant interiors, representing an excellent example of late eighteenth-century European ceramic craftsmanship.
