AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Object: Antique miniature cabinet vase / display vase
Manufacturer/Workshop: Paul Milet for Sèvres, France
Dating: approx. 1911 – 1930 (Art Deco / late Belle Époque)
Base mark: Marked with the circular dotted stamp “MP SEVRES” on the underside (mark for Paul Milet)
Material & decoration: High-quality ceramic/stoneware with the renowned deep cobalt blue flambé glaze used by Milet (“Gros Bleu” / “Bleu Flambé”). Excellent gloss.
Mounting: Very fine, original bronze mounting (bronze doré / ormolu) in the classical Louis XVI style with surrounding laurel garlands and festoons.
Height: approx. 10 cm (miniature/cabinet size)
Condition: Exceptionally good, undamaged original condition. The piece shows no hairline cracks, chips, or later repairs. The bronze mounting is firmly seated and displays a beautiful, authentic patina of age. The upper rim is slightly rough due to manufacturing (created during firing at the factory) – this is evidence of authentic handcraft of the early 20th century and not a defect.
