LARGE PORCELAIN VASE “THE BIRTH OF VENUS” FRANCE, MANUFACTURE NATIONALE DE SÈVRES, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

LARGE PORCELAIN VASE “THE BIRTH OF VENUS” FRANCE, MANUFACTURE NATIONALE DE SÈVRES, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

A large ceremonial porcelain vase of amphora form, produced at the renowned Manufacture nationale de Sèvres. The shape is inspired by Renaissance prototypes, with carefully balanced proportions, a high neck, and a stable circular foot. The body is covered with a rich turquoise-blue glaze serving as a ground for refined polychrome painting and lavish gilt ornamentation, characteristic of the highest artistic production of Sèvres in the 19th century.The front is adorned with a large oval medallion depicting the mythological scene The Birth of Venus. The goddess is shown at the moment of her triumphant emergence from the sea in a shell, with a flowing red drapery, surrounded by putti and music-making nymphs. The movement of the waves, the play of wind, and the dynamic arrangement of figures emphasize the allegorical nature of the scene, symbolizing the triumphant power of love, harmony of nature, and ideal beauty. The composition draws upon Renaissance and academic traditions widely embraced by French art of the period.The reverse features a richly painted still life with an opulent bouquet of flowers, pears, and plums. This imagery, traditionally associated with abundance and fertility, forms a meaningful dialogue with the mythological subject on the front. The painting is framed by a gilt cartouche with a pearl border. The body is further enriched with elaborate gilt vegetal and classical ornamentation executed with exceptional precision.Marks:Hand-painted underglaze cobalt mark of the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, featuring a working monogram and the letter “P”. Such letter marks formed part of the internal attribution system used by the artistic workshops and painting ateliers of the manufactory in the second half of the 19th century and are characteristic of ceremonial vases with painted medallions.Dimensions: Height: 42 cm; Width: 25 cm; Depth: 25 cm.Condition: Good. Even glaze, no cracks or chips. Minor signs of age and light wear to the gilding on raised areas. The painted decoration is well preserved, with no evidence of restoration.Provenance: Private European collection.
