Description from the seller
Ancient porcelain vase in polychrome and gold decor – Height 32 cm
Elegant porcelain vase of a rounded shape, with a flared neck and a refined decorative silhouette.
Its richly worked decoration combines an ivory background with honeycomb geometric motifs in ochre and gold tones, outlined by dark borders and ornamental friezes. Black medallions adorned with figurative scenes provide contrast to the overall piece, enhanced by gilding details and decorative motifs inspired by classical arts.
The piece has a glossy appearance and a particularly decorative décor, ideal for a display cabinet, a console, or interior decoration in an old-fashioned style.
A striking piece that will appeal to enthusiasts of decorative porcelain and antique objects.
The vase shows an antique condition with visible signs of use and wear consistent with a decorative object that has lived.
Decoration: occasional wear and localized loss of finish are visible on certain parts of the decorative borders. The gilding seems slightly faded in places.
Borders and ornaments: some areas show signs of wear and small superficial losses in the decorative area.
Base: the underside shows traces of dirt, rubbing, and a patina of wear. The resting ring also bears signs of wear.
Surface: presence of small marks and traces related to age and handling.
Overall appearance: the vase retains its rich and contrasted decoration as well as its glossy look. The visible imperfections should be taken into account when assessing its condition; see the photos, they are an integral part of the description.
