Rococo Hand-Painted Porcelain Trumpet Vase on Ornate Brass Stand with Floral Bouquet Cartouche

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative forms capture the exuberant spirit of 18th-century European court life as eloquently as the Rococo porcelain vase. This trumpet-form piece — its flared silhouette tapering to a narrow waist before blossoming upward — is a faithful interpretation of the celebrated Meissen and Sèvres traditions that defined luxury interiors across the palaces of France and the German principalities. Set upon a four-legged brass stand whose sinuous rocaille legs culminate in foliate feet entwined with cast floral garlands, the ensemble possesses the visual dynamism and asymmetrical charm that is the hallmark of the Louis XV aesthetic.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The vase body is fashioned from fine white porcelain, its surface hand-painted by skilled artisans with a polychrome bouquet cartouche — roses, tulips, anemones, and cornflowers rendered in rich pinks, violets, blues, and saffron yellows, surrounded by gilded rocaille scrollwork and a delicate crosshatch trellis reserved in blush pink. The scalloped rim is edged in burnished gold, providing a refined border to the trumpet mouth. The brass stand is cast and finished by hand, its four cabriole legs springing from a circular collar ring and meeting at the base in a cascade of acanthus and blossom appliqué — a tour de force of the founder's art. The entire composition weighs 4 kg, reflecting the substantial quality of materials used.

Dimensions & Details

Standing at a graceful 32 cm in height with a base diameter of 17 cm, this vase occupies the ideal scale for a mantelpiece, console, or entrance hall credenza. The trumpet silhouette draws the eye upward, while the ornate brass stand anchors it with sculptural weight. This piece ships fully assembled or in two components (vase and stand) for secure packaging, requiring only minimal placement upon delivery.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece from Brass & Wood is conceived and produced in Egypt by artisans trained in the classical European tradition. The porcelain is painted by hand — no two pieces are identical — and the brass stand is cast, filed, and polished individually. This commitment to handcraft means that each vase carries a subtle individuality that mass-produced objects can never achieve. We invite you to request custom brass finish options to match your interior palette.
