The vase has a deep, rich cobalt blue background, a color often associated with Sèvres porcelain, sometimes referred to as bleu de roi (king's blue). The vase is decorated with two framed, hand-painted pastoral scenes, or "cartouches," depicting figures in 18th-century attire. The blue porcelain surface is extensively embellished with intricate gold gilding in a Rococo-inspired style, featuring scrolls, foliage, and geometric patterns. The vase is mounted with highly ornate, gilded bronze handles shaped like human or mythological faces, adding to its decorative and luxurious appearance. See less
