Description

This collection of decorative porcelain is finished in a deep cobalt blue glaze with extensive gilded decoration. The assortment includes a double-handled vase with a scalloped rim and ornate scrolled handles, two circular lidded trinket boxes of different dimensions, and a small circular pin dish. Each item is decorated with a central transfer-printed vignette in gold depicting romanticised 18th-century figures in a fete galante style. These vignettes are framed by wide gilded borders featuring repeating scroll and floral motifs. The construction and decorative scheme are characteristic of mid-20th century European porcelain, specifically resembling the production of Limoges Castel, France. No maker marks are visible on the underside of the pieces.
