The vase is unsigned but is easily traceable to the French Limoges factory, which customarily crafted this type of metal and enamel product. Dating to the 18th century, it has some cracks and restorations, but is overall in excellent condition considering its age. The decoration is exceptionally beautiful, featuring three small miniature paintings from the 18th century: one with a fountain and a gentleman with a dog, one with a central lady with a fan, and the third with a rural idyll with three figures. Even the small legs are entirely hand-painted with landscapes measuring approximately one square centimeter, yet perfectly visible, a quality from another era. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
