Status: Sold

A decorative grouping of two porcelain floral arrangements, comprising a hand-painted cachepot form vase and a sculptural cornucopia centerpiece, likely 20th century. The cachepot appears in white glazed porcelain with a gently faceted body, raised lug handles, and a footed base, embellished with fine green line banding and scattered clover sprigs framing a central pink rose vignette; the underside bears a blue crown-form mark with a gilt script monogram. The companion piece is modeled as a horn-of-plenty cornucopia, the exterior richly encrusted with applied blossoms and foliage, including pink roses, violet flowers, and cascading lily-of-the-valley bells with pearl-like accents, the surface finished in polychrome enamels over glaze. Each vessel is topped with a dense, naturalistic bouquet of mixed flowers and foliage (white anemone-like blooms and carnations to one; a multicolor assortment including roses, cornflowers, and pansy-like blossoms to the other), creating a pair of table ornaments in the tradition of mid- to late-20th-century decorative porcelain centerpieces. Size: 14 x 14 x 16"
