Limoges France Cobalt Blue 22K Gold Watteau Miniature Vase 3" Barrel Mint

Description

View Limoges France Cobalt Blue 22K Gold Watteau Miniature Vase 3" Barrel Mint with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The miniature vase form in cobalt and gold Limoges is a less commonly encountered category than the trinket boxes — produced in smaller numbers and more frequently used rather than kept, making mint examples increasingly scarce. Limoges France cobalt blue miniature barrel vase, 3 x 2 inches, bearing the authenticated Limoges France circular monogram backstamp in gold — genuine French porcelain. Two-zone 22k gold decoration: a scrolling vine, lattice, and botanical garland band runs the full circumference at the neck just below the rim, and a Watteau-style courtship scene — a lady and seated gentleman amid rococo floral ground, signed "Limoges" in gold script at the scene base — is centered on the body. Gold foot rim. Deep cobalt blue ground throughout, rich and even. Open top, no lid. The miniature vase form in cobalt and gold Limoges is a less commonly encountered category than the trinket boxes — produced in smaller numbers and more frequently used rather than kept, making mint examples increasingly scarce. The two-zone decoration with a distinct neck band above the figural scene demonstrates a more considered layout than single-motif pieces. Mint condition on all decorative surfaces — no chips, no cracks, no crazing, gold neck band and Watteau scene fully intact and bright with zero wear. Use it as a bud vase, a desk or vanity accent, a pen or brush holder, or a standalone display piece. An ideal gift for collectors of French porcelain, Limoges cobalt and gold, or anyone drawn to miniature European decorative objects. Ships carefully packed and fully insured.
