On the front, a classical maiden in a flowing vermilion gown leans against a garden column while a rosy cherub dances beside her, offering a garland of roses. Turn the vase and the figures give way to two doves meeting above a stele draped in blue silk, with a fountain spilling into a quiet garden pool. Lovers paired with billing doves is a classic allegory of love, painted here in the style of Boucher and Fragonard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe painted cylinder rises from a sculpted base in bleu céleste, the soft turquoise made famous at Sèvres, bordered with white raised-enamel palmettes and anthemion beneath a beaded gilt collar. Three scrolling feet are modeled in the porcelain itself rather than added as bronze mounts, which is uncommon, and each is picked out in gold leaf and acanthus. A wide band of tooled gilding finishes the rim.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMaker:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e French, Paris porcelain (Vieux Paris) in the Sèvres taste\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Napoleon III, circa 1860–1880\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMarks:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Unmarked, as is typical of Paris decorating workshops\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hand-painted maiden and cupid (front), doves and fountain (reverse), bleu céleste ground, raised white enamel, gilding\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e [H] x [Diam] in.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Good antique condition.
