Antique Cherub Porcelain Vase – Hand Decorated Putti Scene Green Gold Gilt Tall 10”

⸻

Description:

This is a charming antique porcelain vase featuring a beautifully handdecorated Rococostyle cherub (putti) scene on the front, surrounded by ornate orange and gold raised scrollwork. The body of the vase is finished in a delicate green wash, fading to soft ivory near the neck and base, adding to its ethereal and classical aesthetic.

The vase stands approximately 10 inches tall, with an elongated teardrop shape and a flared rim. The cherub motif, which includes three angelic figures interacting in a pastoral setting, reflects late 19th to early 20th century European decorative porcelain trends, often associated with German or French makers.

About Cherub Motifs in Antique Porcelain:

Cherubs, or putti, were a popular subject in Victorian and Rococo Revival decorative arts, symbolizing innocence, love, and divine beauty. These romantic figures were widely reproduced in the 1800s through early 1900s on fine porcelain, especially in France, Germany, and Austria. Many such vases were transfer printed and then enhanced with handpainted details and gilt embellishments.
