Condition

The illustration is quite accurate. The porcelain is in good condition with minor marks to the body. The gilt bronze is fine with minor wear. Model and chasing circa 1828-30. As described in the catalogue, the vase certainly previously had a cover and was used as a pot-pourri. Very decorative piece.

Catalogue Note

Ce grand vase était probablement destiné à l'origine à servir de pot pourri comme l'indique la présence d'un col fait de rinceaux ajourés et devait recevoir un couvercle.
