Crafted from fine Sevres porcelain, these vases exhibit a rich blue hue with a luminous mother-of-pearl effect, a distinctive and rare feature in Sevres artistry.
The deep cobalt blue contrasts beautifully with the hand-painted scenes, giving the vases a luminous quality.
2. Hand-Painted Romantic & Musical Scenes
Each vase is adorned with finely detailed hand-painted panels, signed by the artist.

One vase features a young woman enchanted by Cupid’s whispers, with a cherubic figure beside her.
The second vase portrays a woman imparting musical knowledge to two children, one holding a lyre and the other following along in a book of musical notes.
The reverse panels showcase idyllic pastoral landscapes, painted with the same artistry and attention to detail.

Embellished with raised gold foliage in intricate relief, highlighting the elegance of the vases.
Original gilded bronze handles and feet, beautifully aged with a rich patina, enhance their classical appeal.
The bronze mounts not only provide stability but also frame the porcelain with an additional layer of opulence.
