KPM

Vase and Plinth

German
Late 19th-Early 20th Century

Standing over six feet tall and crafted entirely of porcelain with bronze mounts, this vase and plinth are enveloped in meticulously hand-painted scenes of 18th-century figures at leisure. Various scenes of ladies and gentlemen courting, serenading, and even playing
“Blind Man’s Bluff” are executed in both poly- and monochrome tones of the most exceptional quality.

The vase, which stands at nearly four feet high alone, rests upon its hexagonal base featuring plaques of the same Rococo-inspired theme and masterful quality, framed in doré bronze. Gilt detailing surrounds both vase and plinth, adding resplendent golden Rococo flourishes to this KPM masterpiece.

Known for its formal porcelain, KPM is also considered to have produced the best porcelain paintings to be found today. Works of this size and caliber, however, are breathtaking exceptions in the KPM oeuvre.
