Large Potpourri #2

This is a second great potpourri vase made by KPM in the 1830's. This is the largest version they come in as far as I know rather impressive! The vase is superbly handpainted with one amazing large floral arrangement (they put all their energy into this one and left the backside blank :) It has face - mascarone I think they are called - handles and lots more detail like raised designs around the openings of the vase as well as along the bottom. Nice gold rings here and there and a pink bow holding some grasses together on the front and back. The rose finial is spectacular! The vase is in great condition with some chipping to the rose finial (one is taped inside the lid), a chip to one finial leaf on the lid, one of the grasses on the backside of the leaf handle was restored and must have come off again and was then reglued (it's not obvious at all!) and one of the tips of the grasses on the right side handle is chipped off. The piece is 11.5 inches tall and 7 inches in diameter. It is marked udnerneath with the underglaze blue scepter mark, the red orb mark and some impressed numbers as shown. I have another one that would work as a match for a pair! Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $999
