AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An imposing and highly decorative pair of monumental, classical-form porcelain covered vases featuring a rich, deep cobalt blue (bleu de Roi) glaze. Each vase is finely adorned with elaborate, raised tooled-gilt scrolling foliage, framing large, hand-painted oval reserves that showcase idyllic romanticized European river landscapes with figures, distant mountains, and classical country estates.
Condition: One vase features a significant, complete structural crack/fracture running vertically through the lower porcelain trumpet foot down to the bronze base rim (as clearly shown in the detail photos). The other vase shows light surface wear to the gilding but remains structurally sound. We can help you restore it here in Madrid !
