The vases feature finely detailed portraits of officers on horseback, framed by lavish gilded foliate scrolls and cobalt-blue accents. The bases are adorned with floral medallions and geometric friezes in the manner of Sèvres’ Empire period.

Such pieces were often commissioned as diplomatic gifts or made for aristocratic interiors during the Second French Empire (Napoleon III), reflecting the grandeur of imperial iconography. The presence of Napoleonic imagery significantly increases their historical and collectible value.
