A Pair of 19th Century Pink Ground Paris Porcelain Vases, With Portraits

About the Item

An Incredible and Quite Important Pair of 19th Century Pink Ground Paris Porcelain Vases. The pair of Paris porcelain campana vases bear gilt crowned initials, indicating a connection to European royalty. One vase displays the initials “C” and “A,” referring to the betrothal or marriage of Princess Clémentine of Orléans (1817-1907) to Prince August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1818-1881) in 1843. The other vase bears the initials “L” and “V,” which reference the marriage of her brother, Prince Louis of Orléans (1806-1896), Duke of Nemours, to Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Kohary (1822-1857) in 1840. Each vase has a flared rim with a gilt band encircling the top edge. The body is decorated with a pink ground, interrupted by a rectangular painted panel framed in gilt. One panel depicts a kneeling male figure in armor with a shield inside an interior setting, while the other shows a seated female figure with a dog in a similar interior. The reverse of each vase is adorned with a gilded martial trophy. Two handles, arching outward from the upper body, are modeled as bearded male masks at their terminals. The lower portion of each vase tapers into a stepped foot, which is mounted on a square plinth base. The pink ground continues onto the base, where it is decorated with additional gilt latticework. The transition between the body and foot is defined by a rounded, gilded molding that separates the painted surface from the lower section. Paris, Circa: 1840
