Superb Large Floral Vase

This is a really nice and quite large vase definitely made in France most likely by Bayeux or Valentine in the early to mid 19th century. Larger than most one comes across plus the amazing flowers go all around the piece instead of just having a small panel of them. Looks stunning! The vase is hand painted with this amazing floral design all around the widest part with a cobalt blue and gold trim design to the top and bottom. It looks stunning to say the least. The details of the flowers is superb and there are even little white enamel raised details to them to give them more depth. Not something you see often at all. This had to be one of their nicest pieces! The shape of the vase is nice as well and the gold trim to the top and bottom edge finishes off the perfect piece. The vase is in great condition with just a touch of wear to the gilding, a couple of very small spots of missing enamel paint, two firing cracks in the top rim and a few minor glaze cracks that don't affect the piece at all since they are on the underside and inside and do not go into the porcelain itself. The piece 17 inches tall and about 7.5 inches in diameter at the widest point! Unmarked but that is very normal for these makers of this period. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
