A PAIR OF PARIS PORCELAIN PLATINUM-GROUND VASES CIRCA 1880

each reserved on the front with an oval panel painted with a putto in a garden and on the reverse with a landscape within a gilt-edged border issuing teal blue scrollwork suspending colorful flower garlands, affixed on either side with a gilt laurel wreath handle.

One vase has some restoration to the underside of the base, possibly covering cracks caused by overtightening the pin - although the full nature of the damage beneath the overspray cannot be determined. Some minor occasional wear to the gilding of both. Otherwise, in generally good condition.
