This pair of Victorian period porcelain moon flask vases originates from 1890 in the Victorian and Gothic style. Each vase wears a smooth slate blue glaze contrasted by white pate-sur-pate winged cherub relief motifs. Gilded fluted feet support the bodies, while enamel highlights and gold leaf embellishments accent the Greek key borders around the top openings. The porcelain carries initials for decorator Marc Louis Solon alongside classical figural scenes depicting putti amidst foliage. Measuring 14.5 cm high by 12.5 cm wide and 4 cm deep, these vessels sit compactly on flat surfaces. Placed upon a mantelpiece, the pair brings traditional decorative character to living spaces or studies as standalone ornaments or accent pieces within a display cabinet.

FAQs

Pate-sur-pate, translating to paste-on-paste, is a ceramic embellishment technique where translucent white liquid clay slip is painted in thin layers onto an unfired coloured body to build up relief designs, creating a semi-translucent cameo effect.

These pieces typically consist of fine bone china or porcelain, coloured clay body slips, mineral pigment glazes, and accents painted in liquid gold leaf or enamel.

Authentic Minton pieces generally feature impressed or printed factory marks underneath, such as the Minton globe motif or date ciphers, alongside distinct artist signatures or monograms like Marc-Louis Solon.

Position them symmetrically on a mantelpiece, console, or within a lit glazed display cabinet to highlight the depth and translucency of the relief artwork against contrasting backdrops.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre brush or cloth, avoiding water immersion or abrasive cleaners that could strip delicate gilding or erode fine surface slip details.
