Description

A French Old Paris porcelain vase de mariée, dating from the first half of the 19th century. Produced by a Parisian workshop during the Vieux Paris period, the vase exemplifies the decorative porcelain made for refined domestic interiors.

Decorated in the French Vieux Paris tradition, the vase features a deep cobalt-blue ground, generous gilding and hand-painted floral decoration centred with a medallion of roses. The decorative style recalls Paris workshop production associated with Jacob Petit.

FAQs

Old Paris, or Vieux Paris, porcelain refers to fine ceramics produced by independent artisan workshops in and around Paris during the late eighteenth to mid-nineteenth centuries. A Vase de Mariee, or bridal vase, was traditionally gifted to newlyweds during wedding ceremonies to hold and display the brides floral bouquet.

These vases were manufactured using hard-paste porcelain, high-fired to achieve a durable translucent body. Decoration involved hand-painted polychrome enamel florals, deep cobalt blue underglaze, and rich mercury or leaf gilding applied around scalloped rims and molded relief areas.

Authentic Old Paris porcelain is frequently unmarked or marked only with incised numerals or batch symbols, as small artisan workshops operated independently of state-sanctioned factories like Sevres. Authentic period pieces exhibit heavy porcelain weight, intricate hand-painted motifs, and natural wear to the gilded edges.

Position the vase as a singular focal statement on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or entryway console table. Pairing classical gilded ceramics with minimalist backdrops or modern artwork creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush around molded areas. Avoid soaking in water or applying abrasive chemical cleansers, as moisture and chemicals can cause delicate leaf gilding and painted enamels to degrade.
