Rococo Hand-Painted Ceramic Lidded Urn Vase with Brass Filigree Mounts & Floral Bouquet

Design & Inspiration

There are objects that do not merely occupy a room — they command it. This monumental Rococo lidded urn vase, standing 140 cm tall, carries the visual authority of a grand European salon: an ivory-white ceramic body erupting in a cascade of hand-painted roses and peonies, framed by intricate brass filigree scrollwork that catches the light with every shift of the eye. Inspired by the celebrated porcelain traditions of Sèvres and Vienna's Imperial Porcelain Manufactory, it faithfully reproduces the spirit of 18th-century decorative art in a form suited to the grandest of modern interiors.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body of this urn is formed from high-fired ceramic, its surface prepared with a warm ivory glaze that provides the luminous ground against which the painted decoration comes alive. Artisan painters apply each rose, peony, and leaf by hand — building depth with layered brushwork in the manner of classical European porcelain painting. The brass mounts — lateral scroll handles with ring drops, the pierced filigree body band, the base collar, and the acorn-crowned finial — are cast and hand-finished, their golden surfaces lending structural drama and period authenticity. The lidded form, with its tapered neck and elongated baluster silhouette, follows the trophy vase tradition that flourished in Rococo and early Victorian decorative arts.

Dimensions & Details

This is a statement piece scaled for generous spaces. At 140 cm in height, 60 cm in width, and 35 cm in depth, it is suited to reception halls, grand salon corners, flanking a fireplace, or as a commanding centerpiece in a high-ceilinged lobby. Weighing 4 kg, it is substantial yet manageable. The ivory-white ground is accented with gold banding at the neck, shoulder, and base — unifying the ceramic and brass elements into a cohesive whole. Each piece is supplied fully assembled, requiring no installation.
