Description
Design & Inspiration
This trumpet-form vase draws its soul from the exuberant vocabulary of 18th-century Rococo — the decorative language of Versailles, of Sèvres porcelain ateliers, and of the grand salons of Louis XV's France. The dramatically flared body, reminiscent of the celebrated vases à cornet produced by the royal manufactories, commands attention through its interplay of deep hunter green and luminous gilded ornamentation. A hand-painted oval medallion at the center presents a loose, naturalistic bouquet of roses and wildflowers rendered in soft pinks and mauves — a motif utterly characteristic of the Rococo's love affair with the pastoral and the floral.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The vase body is formed from fine ceramic fired to a smooth, even finish, hand-glazed in a rich forest green and adorned with gilt acanthus scrollwork, a delicate trellis pattern at the shoulder, and a scalloped gilded rim that catches the light with every glance. The oval cartouche framing the floral bouquet is rendered in a warm cream ground, creating the characteristic deux-couleur contrast beloved by Rococo decorators. Beneath the vase, a separate cast-brass stand — available in your choice of finish — elevates the composition entirely. The stand features boldly modelled cabriole-form legs terminating in scroll feet, united at the apron by a lush floral swag with acanthus leaf appliqués, all cast with a level of relief detail that reflects the finest European decorative metalwork tradition.
Dimensions & Details
Weighing 4 kg as a complete assembled piece, this vase and stand combination presents a substantial, weighty presence befitting a formal reception room or the centre of a mantelpiece arrangement. The scalloped lip of the vase provides an elegant, undulating silhouette when viewed from above, while the brass stand lifts the composition to a commanding height. Minimal assembly is required — the vase rests securely on the stand without permanent fixation. Handle with care; both ceramic and gilded surfaces are fragile and should be kept away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the painted medallion.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every piece in this collection is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans who have devoted years to mastering the techniques of European decorative arts. The ceramic body is hand-glazed and hand-gilded; the brass stand is individually cast and hand-finished. At Brass & Wood, we believe that true luxury is not mass-produced — it is made by skilled human hands, one piece at a time, faithfully honoring the legacy of Rococo design for the modern home. This piece is available for customization in brass finish; please contact our team to discuss bespoke options.
