A refined pair of antique French Limoges porcelain vases decorated in the pâte-sur-pâte technique, featuring raised white figural decoration against a soft powder-blue ground. Each vase is finely detailed with classical mythological imagery, delicate floral ornamentation, and white scroll borders near the base and rim.
One vase depicts Hera, queen of the gods, shown in a garden setting with her symbolic peacock. The companion vase depicts Fauna, goddess of fertility, woodlands, and flocks, rendered in a pastoral landscape with soft naturalistic detail. Together, the pair creates an elegant neoclassical composition with a romantic late 19th-century French decorative character.
The raised white decoration gives the figures a cameo-like quality, characteristic of pâte-sur-pâte porcelain, where layers of slip are built up to create dimensional, sculptural detail. Signed near the lower body with a Limoges inscription and artist name, B. Madeline.
A beautiful pair for a mantel, console, vitrine, or classical interior vignette.
