Title    Monumental white porcelain neoclassical floor vase 18th century with ormolu mount possibly KPM


Description

Extremely rare antique white porcelain neoclassical floor vase  of monumental size possibly KPM  Berlin, late 18th century with gilt bronze ormolu mount.

 

The huge egg shaped body with tall neck opening is gadrooned with Laurel leaf swags all hand formed.

Such a large single piece of fired porecelain required enormous technical proficiency

 

 This huge neoclassical vase is made in two sections and is joined with a gilt bronze acanthus mount separating the two parts that are bolted firmly together.

The foot of the vase is a classic turned plinth shape.

There are minor surface chips and repairs loctated just under the bronze ring which hides these repairs well.

A similar shaped vase made by KPM may be seen in the Applied Museums in Berlin.

This late 18th century vase may have preceded the traditional blue sceptre signature of KPM.

Whilst this rare example is unsigned it may have been mounted on an another 8 sided pedestal base that would have thus been marked with the KPM signature.

 

KPM was founded by King Frederick the Great in 1763.

 

Prussian ( North Germany) late 18th century in the Louis XVI manner of the period.
