Item description

French wedding vase is made of white porcelain; the entire surface has been carefully hand painted with refined pure gold decorations; the elegant and vibrant shape of the vase is reminiscent of the scalloped Angiosperm flower. This type of vase in France was called "wedding vase" (vase d'Eglise marièe) because it was brought by the spouses to the church where the wedding took place to embellish the altar during the ceremony; since the vase then remained the property of the church, the spouses to save on costs would have asked the craftsman who had made it to decorate only the front part, the one facing the faithful, leaving the back part incomplete, which would have remained hidden from the eyes of the faithful.
