19th Century French Vieux Paris Porcelain Vase Jacob Petit Rose Pompadour Pink

19th-century French Old Paris (Vieux Paris) porcelain vase by ceramist Jacob Petit Double sided Rose Pompadour pink Heavily gilded, sculptural handles in black 24K gold trim Footed base There are areas where the paint has slightly flaked off - around the rim, handles, etc. This is normal of age - and adds to the piece - please view photos closely. One tiny chip out of the underside of the tip rim - otherwise excellent antique condition. The chip is difficult to see as it’s on the underside - and still gold to match the rim - see last photo- small chip is reflected in the price. Hand-painted Victorian-style portrait of a woman holding flowers - a romanticized pastoral image Sculptural or scroll Handles with heavy 24k gold gilding Rococo influence Approximately 12” tall 8.5” at widest (with handles) 5.5” in diameter at top Jacob Petit manufactured vases at high-end Parisian workshops from 1840s-1880s. J.P. 11 on bottom of vase 11 refers to the type of mold used Back of vase has a hand-painted floral spray with gilded accents Beautiful and in amazing condition at almost 200 years old!
