Description

HERE IS A GORGEOUS, ANTIQUE, PORCELAIN VASE---OF IMPORTANT SIZE---HAND PAINTED IN A PATTERN OF ROSES.  IT MEASURES 14 3/4 INCHES TALL AND 5 INCHES DIAMETER.  IT BEARS THE VIENNA AUSTRIA MARK UNDERGLAZE, WHICH IS ATTRIBUTED PRIMARILY TO PH LEONARD, AN IMPORTER OF FINE CHINA IN NEW YORK CITY, WHOSE COMPANY OPERATED FROM 1880 TO 1898.
THIS MAGNICICENT DESIGN FEATURES CLUSTERS OF RED AND PINK ROSES, SURROUNDED BY LEAVES AND STEMS IN SHADINGS OF GRAY, GREEN, BLACK AND LAVENDER.  A STRIKING ARTISTIC CONTRAST WITHIN THIS DESIGN.
THE WHITE PORCELAIN BACKGROUND FEATURES COLOR SHADINGS FROM GRAY, TO PINK, TO GREEN, TO LAVENDER, TO BLUE.  THE FINAL ENHANCEMENT OF THIS VASE IS THE HEAVY GOLD SCROLLING OF THE ROCOCO CURVES AND SCROLLS ON THE TOP RIM, OUTLINED IN BLACK.  THE RIM CURVES EVER SO SLIGHTLY INWARD!
THIS IS A VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF HAND PAINTING FROM THE FRENCH STYLE OF THE 1880s TO 1890s THAT USED PASTEL COLORS, ROSES AND HEAVY GOLD TRIM.
IT IS MOST UNFORTUNATE THERE IS NO SIGNATURE TO GIVE DUE CREDIT TO THE ARTIST FOR THEIR EXQUISITE HAND PAINTING OF THIS VASE.
