19th Century French Sèvres Porcelain Covered Decorative Potpourri / Urn
-
Description
French Sèvres turquoise-ground porcelain two-handled footed covered decorative urn / potpourri , dating to the mid 19th century. Executed in a refined classical form, the piece features a generously proportioned ovoid body raised on an ornate rocaille base and fitted with a loose domed cover surmounted by an elegant foliate finial. The overall height measures approximately 14 inches, with an impressive width of 15 inches measured across the handles and a depth of 10 inches, giving the piece strong visual presence while remaining well balanced.
The turquoise ground is richly adorned with finely painted polychrome reserves depicting flower-filled urns, executed in vibrant tones and framed by delicately rendered floral garlands. These reserves are further enhanced by raised gilt scrolling bands of acanthus leaves, which add texture and depth to the surface. The cover mirrors the decoration of the body, creating a harmonious and cohesive design throughout.
Finely cast gilt-metal mounts accentuate the form, including the scrolling handles and decorative elements, lending a luxurious contrast to the porcelain surface. The vessel is raised on an elaborately modeled rocaille base, reinforcing its French decorative character. The underside bears a Sèvres blue overglaze mark, consistent with Sèvres-style porcelain produced in France during the mid 19th century.
A highly decorative and elegant example of French ornamental porcelain, ideal for display on a mantel, console, or vitrine. In good condition, Bronze finial top slightly loose , with minor wear consistent with age and use. -
