French Sèvres urn with rams head handles hand -painted floral bouquets, gilt scrollwork and blue céleste glaze

Description

This exquisite French Sèvres-style urn showcases the classic opulence of 19th-century decorative porcelain. The body is richly adorned with hand-painted floral bouquets in vivid colors, framed by ornate raised gilt scrollwork and bordered in the iconic bleu céleste (celestial blue) glaze—an instantly recognizable hallmark of Sèvres influence.

 Striking gilt ram’s head handles enhance the neoclassical form, a design motif commonly associated with French Empire and Louis XVI aesthetics. The pedestal base and squared plinth further elevate its elegance, while the attention to detail throughout suggests it was crafted as a high-end decorative piece rather than for utilitarian use.

Measures 7.5 tall x 3.5 at the widest part. Hallmark with interlaced L’s 

Founded in 1740, the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory became one of Europe’s most prestigious, famed for its vivid colors, fine gilding, and royal patronage under Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour.
