About the Item

Pair of 19th C French Ormolu Mounted Chinese Celadon Crackle Porcelain Covered Vases. Each vase has a rounded ovoid form with a domed lid and a finial in the shape of a stylized floral element. The porcelain body is celadon-glazed with a crackled surface. The lids have a stepped profile with a narrow ormolu band encircling the lower section. Ormolu mounts are applied to the vases at various points. A continuous ormolu band runs along the upper edge where the lid meets the body. The sides of the vases feature ormolu mounts shaped as symmetrical, scrolling elements terminating in decorative masks. The lower sections of these mounts extend downward and are anchored to the base with additional ormolu ornamentation. The mounts are secured to the porcelain at multiple points. The vases rest on ormolu bases with a stepped profile, featuring a gadrooned lower edge. The ormolu is cast and chased, with defined ridges and sculpted details. The finials are attached to the lid by an ormolu mount integrated into the stepped design. France, Circa: 1880

A Pair of Large Gilt-Bronze Mounted Chinese Celadon-Ground and Slip Decorated Porcelain Vases. These vases of Chinese celadon porcelain from the late Quing Dynasty are slip-decorated with willow trees and prunus flowers. The finely sculpted gilt-bronze handles are modelled as winged merman term figures running on berried scrolled clasps to a rocaille raised foot. These superb vases are in the tradition for mounting Chinese porcelain with gilt-bronze accoutrements made by ciseleur-doreurs such as Pierre Gouthière for the marchand-merciers, namely Dominique Daguerre and Simon-Philippe Poirier. The practice continued into the nineteenth century when Prince Regent, later George IV (1762-1830), sent Chinese porcelain vases from the Royal...
