Pair of floral painted porcelain vases

The vases have been finely crafted on a small scale from porcelain. They stand on short shaped stems set on splayed feet. The vases feature ovoid bodies which extend upwards to form waisted necks and flared mouths. Each vase’s body is fitted with two handles which curl in on themselves, forming elegant scrolls. The white handles have been delicately parcel gilt and painted along their edges with small green and pinky-red floral motifs. Stylised pinky-red flowers and foliage on thin stems dotted with tiny green leaves decorate the vases’ feet, stems, bodies, necks and mouths.

The vases are marked on the undersides of their feet.
