A striking pair of Victorian-era Églomisé porcelain vases featuring rich browns and greens over a celadon ground, enhanced with finely cast doré bronze mounts. These elegant vases showcase the classic decorative style of late 19th-century European porcelain, perfect for collectors or lovers of antique glasswork.

The vases display exquisite hand-painted and reverse-painted glass techniques typical of Églomisé work, with luxurious gilt accents adding refinement and depth.

On the underside, each vase bears a distinctive mark resembling a stylized “X” or crossed swords, accompanied by handwritten numbers “12.87” and “130,” and the initials “JLM”—likely decorator’s or batch markings typical of porcelain studios of this era. While the exact maker is unconfirmed, these marks are consistent with traditional European porcelain workshop practices from the late 1800s.
