A large Chinese blue and white crackle-glazed 'carps' vase with fine gilt bronze mounts, 18/19th C.
Description:
L.: 37 cm - H.: 36 cm (incl. mount and base)
The porcelain probably 18th C., the refined gilt bronze mounts early 19th C. in Regence-style and of French origin.
The interior is equipped with a 19th C. zinc inner jardiniere. The neck is decorated with a frieze of laurel leaves. On each side, we find a stylized clasp in the shape of a chicory leaf supported by two windings on lion's muzzles, the manes with two acanthus leaves. The rings are enclosed in their mouths and take the form of a wreath of laurel leaves. A lambrequin motif ending in a lion's paw surmounts a row of pearls. The base is punctuated by four dice-shaped feet offering a plant motif alternating with guilloche friezes. br>The base of the vase unglazed.
Provenance: A French private collection.
