A PAIR OF VIENNA-STYLE PORCELAIN LIGHT BLUE-GROUND EWERS ON STANDS, MOUNTED AS LAMPS LATE 19TH CENTURY

reserved on either side with a gilt-edged panel painted with a mythological scene, beehive mark in blue, script titles in black.

Overall good condition and presentation. Well-painted. Not blacklighted but apparently free of repairs and restoration. Fully marked with beehive marks and titles under bases and also under socles. Converted to lamps, could easily be reversed without damage. Fittings remain untested and inspection by someone qualified is advised. There is some rubbing and wear to the gilt on the necks of the ewers, moreso on one, and one has rubbing to the gilding on the edge of the base.
