About

Decorate a console, mantel, or center table with this elegant antique porcelain vase crafted in France circa 1880 by Porcelaine de Paris. The baluster-form body rises to a tall, flared neck, creating a refined and balanced silhouette typical of fine Parisian porcelain production.
The vase is beautifully hand painted with a tranquil waterside scene featuring graceful swans gliding among reeds and lily pads, set against a soft sky-blue ground. The delicate composition is enhanced by finely executed gilt banding at the base, shoulder, and rim, adding a touch of classical sophistication and contrast to the serene palette.
The antique vessel is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with minor wear to the gilding consistent with its age, and presents a soft and harmonious blend of blue, green, and cream tones. This piece would make a charming decorative accent in a living room, bedroom, or entry, and works beautifully displayed alone or as part of a porcelain collection.
Porcelaine de Paris, founded in 1822 by Jean-Marx Clauss, became known for producing finely crafted porcelain inspired by the great 18th century Parisian manufactories, continuing a tradition of elegant design and skilled craftsmanship.
Dimensions: 7″W x 7″D x 14″H
