Rare antique Old Paris porcelain vase, circa 1840-1860, with hand-painted floral bouquet and heavy gilt trim.
White porcelain in a sculptural, leaf-form shape with scrolled sides and a small gilt flower cup at the base. The front is hand-painted — not transfer — with a pink rose, cosmos, and wildflowers in soft, detailed brushwork.
A true collector piece for a mantel, shelf, or cabinet. Stands on its footed base and displays beautifully on its own or with a single stem.
