Description
Design & Inspiration
Few objects carry the visual authority of a covered urn vase of this caliber. Standing 36 cm tall, this Rococo-inspired ceramic urn commands attention the moment it enters a room — its ivory body glowing softly against the warm luster of its cast brass mounts. Inspired by the celebrated Sèvres porcelain tradition of 18th-century France, this piece faithfully reproduces the exuberant spirit of Rococo court decorative arts, where every surface was an opportunity for artistry and every object a statement of refined taste.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The body is formed from fine ceramic in a creamy ivory glaze, its ovoid silhouette elegantly narrowing to a raised pedestal base. Flowing acanthus and rocaille scrollwork rendered in gold embellish the shoulder and neck, while the central body is dominated by a hand-painted pastoral landscape medallion — sky, trees, and water captured with delicate brushwork within an ornate gilt cartouche. The cast brass mounts are the defining element: elaborately scrolled C-scroll and S-scroll handles rise from acanthus leaf terminals and curl outward in the full Rococo manner, adorned with floral rosettes. The domed lid is crowned by a pine-cone finial — a classical symbol of immortality — with richly chased acanthus relief across its surface. The square plinth base, cast in matching brass, features a bold shell motif at center, flanked by foliate scrollwork and raised on four claw feet, grounding the entire composition with visual weight and stability.
Dimensions & Details
Height: 36 cm | Width: 20 cm | Depth: 15 cm | Weight: 4 kg. The compact yet substantial proportions make this covered urn ideal for mantelpieces, console tables, side tables, or display cabinets. The weight of 4 kg reflects the quality of both the ceramic body and the solid cast brass mounts — this is a piece of genuine substance, not a hollow decorative object.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every piece is individually handcrafted in Egypt by artisans trained in European classical decorative traditions. The hand-painting of the landscape medallion is carried out by skilled painters who apply multiple layers of ceramic pigment before firing, ensuring lasting color fidelity. The brass components are cast, hand-finished, and polished to achieve the warm, even luster visible on the mounts, handles, and base. At Brass & Wood, we believe that luxury lives in the details — and this covered urn rewards close inspection at every turn.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials is this vase made from?
The body is crafted from fine ceramic with an ivory glaze and hand-painted decoration. The mounts, handles, lid, and base are cast from solid brass and hand-finished to a warm polish. No resin or plastic components are used.
Is this vase fragile? How should I care for it?
Yes — the ceramic body requires careful handling. We recommend dusting with a soft dry cloth and wiping with a lightly damp cloth if needed. Avoid placing in direct sunlight to preserve the hand-painted pigments. The brass mounts may be periodically polished with a suitable brass polish to maintain their luster.
Can this vase be customized?
Yes. Brass & Wood offers customization options including brass finish (Gold, Silver, Antique Gold) and, for larger orders, the possibility of custom painted medallion motifs. Please contact our team to discuss your requirements.
