Rococo Ceramic Trumpet Vase with Brass Mounts & Hand-Painted Floral Medallion

Design & Inspiration

There is a particular kind of refinement that only the Rococo tradition can produce — a harmony between exuberance and elegance, between the weight of ceremony and the lightness of ornament. This ceramic trumpet vase, faithfully inspired by the celebrated Sèvres manufactory pieces of 18th-century France, captures precisely that balance. Its flaring trumpet silhouette rises from a richly ornamented brass base, commanding attention in any room it graces — whether a grand reception hall, a formal salon, or an intimate reading library.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The vase body is crafted from high-quality ceramic, finished in a deep, lustrous wine-burgundy glaze that forms a dramatic backdrop for the gilded decorations. The centerpiece of the design is a hand-painted oval floral medallion — a lush bouquet of roses, peonies, and wildflowers rendered in soft peaches, mauves, and greens, framed within a gilt cartouche. Surrounding the medallion, intricately applied gold scrollwork, diamond lattice patterns, and foliate arabesques trace the upper body of the vase with extraordinary precision. The brass mounts — cast and hand-finished — include a scalloped gilt rim at the flared mouth, two acanthus-leaf side handles that sweep outward with sculptural confidence, and an elaborate base featuring cast foliate apron work that elevates the piece on organic, naturalistic feet.

Dimensions & Details

Standing at a commanding 44 cm in height, with a width of 22 cm and a depth of 20 cm, this luxury decorative vase is scaled to make a genuine visual statement without overwhelming a tabletop or console. The proportions — a slender waist, a generous cup, and a stable ornamental base — are a direct echo of the classical Médicis and campana vase forms beloved by Rococo and early Neoclassical decorators alike. Weight: 4 kg.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in Egypt by artisans who have devoted their careers to the meticulous study of European classical decorative traditions. The floral medallion is painted by hand; the brass mounts are individually cast, cleaned, and fitted; the gilded scrollwork is applied with exacting care. This is not a mass-produced decorative accessory — it is a handcrafted object of genuine decorative art, made to endure and to be admired across generations. Available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette.
