Description: | Pair of vases 'Ad?la?de'. Of inverted egg-shaped form, the base of the body tapering to a moulded bulbous swelling with jewelled decoration on a pedestal foot. The top tapers to a collar-like neck which finishes in a serrated lip which flares outwards. Two decorative handles are applied to the top of the main body which join the neck with acanthus leaves. There is a row of gilt beads at the top and at the base of the body. The main body, foot and neck are half decorated in a bright blue ground colour, which frames garlands of flowers (mostly roses) set on the white of the porcelain on the main body and neck. The whole is lavishly gilded with scrolling and arabesque ornament, with mask like heads above the flower decoration on the main body. Both vases are set on gilt bronze stands with a rim of pearled beading.
