Description
A pair of Louis XVI-period pot-pourri vases, in green-glazed Locré porcelain, ovoid in shape and flanked by handles joined by beaded garlands, height 34 cm Provenance: Christie’s, New York, 1 November 2018, lot 1223 restored lids one vase is significantly tilted (probably due to the concealed support rod) Garland of beads, probably added at a later date A collection of 18th-century mounted vases In the 18th century, Parisian haberdashers played a vital role in the trade, enrichment and dissemination of luxury art objects. Acting as intermediaries between collectors, porcelain makers and bronze casters, they contributed in particular to the creation of these exceptional objects combining porcelain with gilded bronze mounts. Regarded as a precious material for its delicacy, whiteness and lustre, Chinese porcelain captivated European connoisseurs. The Sèvres porcelain soon added to this craze. Set in gilded bronze mounts of elegant and skilfully crafted forms, these porcelain pieces became true collectors’ items, intended for the most prestigious interiors and bearing witness to the refined taste of the European aristocracy.
