A PAIR OF KPM GOLD-GROUND CAMPANA VASES CIRCA 1840

each reserved on the front with a rectangular panel painted with a vase of colorful flowers and grapes decorated on each side with an initialed M supported by classical scrolling devices above handles with mask terminals, printed KPM over sceptre mark in black.

There is some minor rubbing to the gilding around the edges of the base, to the molded portions of the handles and to the edges of the stems, as well as some further minor spots of wear to the rims. Both probably originally had covers, which are now lacking and the inner rim on which they would have set are now gilt. Otherwise, both are in generally good condition.
