Jacob Petit - Vase (2) - Porcelain

Pair of monumental vases in French porcelain, attributed to Jacob Petit, dating from the mid-19th century, around 1830-1860.

With a remarkable height of 41 cm each, these two vases feature a particularly elaborate decorative composition, characteristic of the neo-rococo taste of the manufactory.

The decor combines a deep pink-lavender background, turquoise blue reserves, gilded highlights and hand-painted pastoral scenes. The bases are adorned with relief scenes of putti, while the upper parts feature floral medallions.

The richly worked handles, openwork reliefs and dynamic shapes testify to the sought-after decorative craftsmanship of this production.
