CHINE - Lot 209
CHINE Important pair of porcelain scroll vases with a powder blue background decorated with landscapes animated with characters or animals and foliage in cartouches on a white background enhanced with copper red. KANGXI period (1662-1722). They were adapted later in France under the Restoration around 1830/1840 with chased and gilded bronze mounts with friezes of foliage and pearls on the necks and garlands of foliage, flutes and acanthus leaves on the bases. The handles showing tritons holding leaves in one hand. The creation of these models of tritons around 1770 has been attributed to Pierre Gouthière. See a similar design on a pair of celadon-bottomed Chinese porcelain vases from the former Djahanguir Riahi collection (number 14 in Christie's catalog, London, December 6, 2012).
