Pair of Berlin Fayence Vases with Covers in Imitation Lacquer, 19th-century

Item Description & Information

A striking and rare pair of Berlin fayence vases, masterfully decorated to evoke the rich, vibrant sheen of Japanese lacquer. Each vase features a domed lid surmounted by a finial in the form of a proudly perched rooster, rising above a generously bulbous body that tapers elegantly toward a shaped foot.

The surfaces are exuberantly adorned with vibrant floral sprays and raised Chinese figures and birds, all set within a delicate floral trellis-patterned border. This intricate raised decoration, combined with the deep red lacquer-like ground, creates a wonderful interplay of texture and exoticism—perfectly capturing the 18th-century European fascination with Chinoiserie and Japonisme.

Measurements: 59 cm (H).
