Sèvres-Style Ceramic & Brass Vase Set - Galant Scene Teal & White Hand-Painted Urn with Centrepiece

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects evoke the refinement of eighteenth-century European court life as eloquently as a Sèvres-style porcelain garniture. This handcrafted 3-piece set — comprising two covered urns and a footed centrepiece coupe — is a faithful interpretation of the famed garnitures de cheminée that graced the mantelpieces and étagères of Versailles and the great aristocratic salons of Rococo Europe. The hand-painted cartouche on each piece depicts a fête galante scene: a courting couple in powdered-wig attire set against a dreamy blue landscape of willowy trees and soft sky, recalling the pastoral idylls of Watteau and Boucher. Around this luminous medallion, a rich teal ground — punctuated by delicate gold arabesque foliage — anchors each piece with an aristocratic depth of color that shifts subtly as it catches the light.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this luxury vase set is crafted from fine ceramic, hand-thrown and hand-painted by skilled artisans. The bodies are glazed in a deep teal, with hand-applied gilt acanthus and lattice motifs adorning the neck and base of each urn. The figural scenes are executed in the classical transferware-and-overglaze-enamel tradition, with softly blended blues, warm flesh tones, and accents of rose and green lending the figures a painterly vitality. Cast brass mounts — finished in the selected color — frame the scalloped rim of each piece, form the elegant swan-neck handles of the urns, and construct the richly chased acanthus-leaf base that gives the coupe its stately elevation. The interplay between the luminous ceramic body and the warm metallic mounts is the hallmark of the finest Sèvres-tradition decorative ware.

Dimensions & Details

The two covered urns stand at 70 cm in height with a 30 cm width, commanding presence on any console, mantelpiece, or reception credenza. The footed centrepiece coupe provides a lower horizontal element that balances the vertical drama of the urns, creating the classic tripartite garniture composition. The set arrives with minimal assembly required — brass base mounts attach easily with no tools. Each piece is individually packed with protective materials to safeguard against transit damage.
