A French Old Paris porcelain vase de mariée dating from the first half of the 19th century, circa 1820-1840. Produced by one of the Parisian workshops active during this period, the vase reflects the decorative elegance for which Vieux Paris porcelain is known.
The vase is compact yet solid, with a broad, softly wavy rim, applied scroll handles and a stable foot, designed for domestic display. Vases of this type were traditionally given as wedding gifts and used as ornamental flower holders in bourgeois interiors.
Decorated in the French Vieux Paris tradition, the vase features rich colours, hand-painted flowers, generous gilding and a deep cobalt-blue ground centred with a floral medallion of roses. The overall look recalls the decorative style of Paris workshops associated with Jacob Petit.
Dimensions: Height 15.5 cm; Width 15 cm; Depth 11.2 cm. Weight 546 g.
Condition: Minor losses to gilding consistent with age. A firing crack to the base from manufacture. Otherwise in excellent antique condition.
