A SEVRES-STYLE BLUE-GROUND LARGE VASE AND COVER LATE 19TH CENTURY

painted by Wouvermans, signed, on either side with a landscape or a figural scene reserved within a gilt-edged rectangular panel, affixed with satyr's mask handles and raised on a high square stand, pseudo Sèvres mark in blue.

There is some occasional very minor wear to the gilding to the gilt bands along the rim and additionally some wear to the gilding on the satyr's masks. The lower portion of the vase, molded with leaves, is completely over-painted and re-gilt making it difficult to determine the exact nature of the damage. There is some overpainting to the base of the upper canted base of the stand, where the upper base conjoins the lower square base. There is a very minor flat chip to the footrim on one side. Otherwise in generally good condition.
