The pair strongly recalls antique Old Paris and Samson porcelains of the period.

I especially love the sculptural hexagonal form that gently flares upward from the base, paired with the raised feet, which give the pieces a wonderfully elevated and decorative presence. The reticulated latticework keeps them feeling airy and refined, while the warm gilt accents beautifully highlight the molded details throughout. The softly scalloped rims and paneled shaping add even more dimension and movement to the design.

Perfect as cachepots, decorative centerpiece bowls, or statement shelf accents, they make an especially striking display as a pair.

Each retains a faint underside mark, though the exact maker remains unidentified. See less
