Created by one of the Parisian workshops active in this period, the vase represents the refined decorative porcelain made for domestic interiors.

The form is compact yet solid, with a broad, softly wavy rim, applied scroll handles and a stable foot. Vases of this type were traditionally presented as wedding gifts and used as ornamental flower holders.

Decorated in the French Vieux Paris tradition, the vase features a deep cobalt-blue ground, generous gilding and hand-painted floral decoration centred with a medallion of roses. The overall appearance recalls the decorative style of Paris workshops associated with Jacob Petit.

Dimensions: Height 15.5 cm; Width 15 cm; Depth 11.2 cm. Weight 546 g.

Condition: Minor losses to gilding consistent with age. A firing crack to the base from manufacture. Otherwise in excellent antique condition.
