A Hand-Painted and Ormolu-Mounted
‘Sèvres’ Porcelain Urn in the Louis XVI Manner
The characteristic bleu celeste Sèvres-style porcelain body is of oblate and bulbous form with gadrooned base bearing glass bead embellishments, and is mounted with fire-gilt bronze mounts of the finest quality. Those one the side are fashioned as handles and represent two Dionysian maenads. The removeable cover with applied gilt decoration has a figural ormolu group of a putto and a goat after the celebrated marble sculpture in the Louvre by Sarazin. The frieze below depicts portrait medallions of Ariadne and Flora to opposing sides.
French, circa 1875
