The piece is executed in deep cobalt blue glaze with rich hand-applied gilding and a finely painted romantic pastoral scene framed by Rococo cartouches.
The central scene depicts a classical gallant couple in an 18th-century pastoral setting, painted by hand and signed by the decorator “Gilles.” The vase stands on an ornate gilt bronze-mounted base and is decorated with swirling gilt ribbons and floral motifs typical of late 19th-century French luxury porcelain.
Originally produced as a covered urn or pot-pourri, the lid is no longer present, allowing it to be displayed today as an elegant decorative vase.
