Question about this piece
A monumental and important 19th century French sevres porcelain ormolu-mounted two-handle campana form centerpiece/vase. This is a truly Sevres masterpiece. Sevres vases of this size with ormolu mounted handles are very rare. The piece is beautiful with a campana form complete with a green ground and spectacular 360 degree hand-painted decoration of a medieval French Royal and Country scene, which includes, soldiers, horses, carriages, men and women, cows, children, and generals. The body of the vase rests on a foliage designed ormolu mount which flares on either end with two ormolu handles, each which terminate to an acorn finial. The top and pedestal bottom of the vase are further adorned with 24k gilt decoration, which further enhances this spectacular piece. The base is dated 1848, in a green lozenge mark, as well as incised with a coded potters mark for 1831. France, Circa: 1831.
