Pair of vases in porcelain de Paris. The delicate and colorful hand painted decorations represent two rural landscapes. While on the back the vases are white with light leaf designs in pure gold, the two vases are then finished in the base, handles, and body always in pure gold, creating a rich and elegant whole. In some parts the pure gold appears worn but this makes the two objects much more fascinating and historically interesting. The pieces were made between 1870 and 1875 respecting ancient traditions and the raw material (kaolin) by master craftsmen.
