Neoclassical Ceramic Covered Urn Vase - Emerald Green with Floral Medallion & Brass Mounts

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room with the authority of a grand covered urn vase. This Neoclassical ceramic covered urn, faithfully inspired by the celebrated Sèvres porcelain tradition of 18th-century France, brings the restrained grandeur of the Louis XVI period into the contemporary luxury interior. Its elongated silhouette — a slender spire-topped lid rising above a columnar neck, swelling into a full ovoid body, then drawing in to a ringed pedestal base — is a study in classical proportion and vertical drama. The deep emerald green ground, punctuated by a large cartouche with a hand-painted floral bouquet, radiates the quiet confidence of a piece that knows its own heritage.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body is crafted from high-grade ceramic, hand-painted in a rich emerald green enamel that carries depth and luminosity across its surface. At the center of the vase, a softly toned cartouche panel hosts a meticulously hand-painted botanical composition — roses, wildflowers, and trailing foliage rendered with delicate brushwork in the tradition of the great European porcelain ateliers. The neck and lid cartouche echo this floral vocabulary on a smaller scale. Encircling the shoulder, a band of gold latticework with foliate infill references the classical treillis ornament beloved by Neoclassical designers. Cast brass mounts in the form of swan-neck ring handles flank the shoulders, their plumage detail and elegant curve evoking the refined ormolu appliqués of the finest French cabinetmakers. The stepped hexagonal base is sheathed in a richly detailed brass apron with acanthus and foliate relief, grounding the composition with visual weight. The finial at the apex of the lid is cast in matching brass, completing the gilded punctuation of the form.
