A richly enameled and gilded vase en amphore, attributed to one of the many ateliers of Vieux Paris, mid-19th century. This stately porcelain vessel features a flared lip, ornate twin handles, and a classical footed base, all hand-painted in vibrant fuchsia and cobalt, accented with gilt acanthus and foliate flourishes. The central reserves on each side present romantic pastoral scenes, delicately rendered in soft tones and framed in raised gilding—hallmarks of Parisian porcelain made between 1830 and 1860. Such pieces were created not for table service but for parlor display, signifying refinement and the prestige of French porcelain artistry. This example exemplifies the exuberance of the Second Empire’s decorative spirit—luxurious, theatrical, and steeped in neoclassical nostalgia.
