    Description
    I just purchased this PAIR of French porcelain cornucopia mantle vases from a local estate here in Central Virginia. The pieces have an elegant Napoleon III / Second Empire inspired design with figural wolf head "tails" and heavily embossed acanthus flaring flutes. The bases bear the pictured "BW" cartouche (which I believe was a US based importer circa 1910 - 1930), "Made in France" and decorator monogram "LMP". The bright white porcelain features extensive hand painted florals and a brick red ground. The piece features extensive 24K gold enamel highlights. The vases measure 9" high, 8" long and 5 ¼" deep. Both are in very good condition with the only issue being shallow pinhead flakes on the base edge of two feet (one post production touched up with gold). The top rim on one has some slight irregularities in the gold band at the top edge (appears to be production with original paint). This handsome pair would make a fine addition to your collection of antique French / Parisian porcelains.
