Lidded vase (2) - A Pair of French Sèvres-Style Cobalt Blue Porcelain Covered Vases (57x17) - Porcelain

Pair of Sèvres-style gilt bronze mounted porcelain vases and covers, cobalt blue with gallant scenes, France, late 19th / early 20th century, 57 cm

A pair of Sèvres-style covered vases in deep cobalt blue (bleu de roi) with raised gilt decoration. Each has an oval gilt-framed reserve with a hand-painted gallant pastoral scene (a shepherdess and shepherd, and a reclining woman with a man in a straw hat). The reverse carries a gilt trophy of horns, a book and roses. Both have gilt bronze pine-cone finials, collars and square stepped bronze bases. Probably French, late 19th to early 20th century, in the 18th-century Sèvres taste. Each vase measures 57 x 17 x 17 cm. No factory mark or painter's signature is visible in the photos, so the pair is offered as Sèvres style, not as Sèvres. Please see the photos for the condition.
