They are executed in the historic Rouen revival style from Normandy, France. This style is celebrated for its intricate, symmetrical patterns that mirror classic French baroque and neoclassical decorative arts. The design features vibrant scrollwork and stylized floral motifs hand-painted in a traditional palette of cobalt blue, iron red, muted green, and golden yellow. A defining feature is the sculpted ram's head masks integrated as handles on the sides, complete with looping horns. Unsigned. See less
