Description
A spectacular and highly ornate pair of monumental porcelain vases attributed to Meissen, richly hand-painted and lavishly embellished with three-dimensional applied flowers, foliage and fruit, all accented with gilt detailing. Each vase rises from an elaborate Rococo-derived base featuring a kneeling figural putto adjacent to a basket of flowers, adding both charm and sculptural presence.
The baluster-shaped bodies display vibrant painted floral sprays on a white ground, with expansive gilding and dynamic foliate scrolls. The removable lids are crowned with lavish porcelain bouquets, creating an impressive vertical silhouette perfect for a grand entry, mantel, or formal interior. These pieces exemplify the decorative exuberance Meissen is celebrated for and would be a centerpiece in any fine porcelain collection.
