- Pair of large 14″ Victorian-style porcelain vases with elegant double handles and scalloped rims
- Hand-painted floral scenes on one side and romantic neoclassical figures on the reverse
- Glossy glazed finish with soft pastel tones and gilt detailing on handles and rim
- Perfect for mantel or parlor display – rare to find in this size and as a matched pair
- Very good vintage condition – no chips, cracks, or crazing; light age-appropriate wear
Each vase is lavishly decorated with a scenic hand-painted floral motif, showcasing a spray of vibrant daisies and wildflowers nestled against a lush green landscape with a soft blue sky background. The reverse side features neoclassical-inspired romantic scenes—graceful figures draped in flowing robes, evoking mythological themes and pastoral storytelling popular during the Victorian revival period.
The glaze is a glossy underglaze with a subtle iridescent sheen, giving the surface a delicate porcelain glow. Fading and patina in certain areas adds an authentic aged charm without compromising the vivid beauty of the illustrations. Gilt accents on the handles and around the rim further enhance their vintage elegance.
The double handles are gently curved and fluted, adding both visual symmetry and a classical Greco-Roman appeal. This thoughtful design makes them ideal not just as vases, but also as commanding display pieces for a fireplace mantle, entryway console, or curio cabinet.
