Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches and marks due to age and use.
The gilding of the mount is slightly tarnished.
Very nice chasing with exquisite details.

Catalogue Note
Les belles figures de femme à l’antique de notre vase sont très proches de celles ornant une garniture de vases en porcelaine céladon et bronze doré conservés au Louvre. (inv. OA 5497 et OA 5213). Cette garniture comportait à l’origine six vases qui étaient conservés à la fin du règne de Louis XVI dans les appartements de Mesdames Adélaïde et Victoire au château de Bellevue. Ces montures furent commandées en 1786 et les coiffes des femmes annoncent déjà le goût pour l’ancienne Egypte. On retrouve ces vases au XIXe siècle au palais des Tuileries. Les montures de cette garniture sont d’une grande finesse et suggèrent le travail d’un grand bronzier comme Pierre Gouthière connu pour ses figures féminines.
