Description Pair of Rare and Important Jacob Petit Paris Porcelain and Ormolu Vases
second quarter 19th century, French, Petit's initials in blue on the underside of the pedestal wall, each of ovoid form with a gilt everted rim surmounted by an egg-and-dart ormolu ring issuing bifurcated handles resting on well-cast Bacchus masques, the green ground centered by two reserves, each a colorful bouquet of flowers framed by raised gilt scrolls, the leaf-cast waist above a spreading socle bound by a wreath.
