AUCTION HISTORY Single vases (Sevres-style or workshop, 19th century): Average final bid value between €400 and €1,200. Pairs of vases: The pair of this model typically sells at auction for €1,500 to €3,500. Pieces with the original Sevres mark of royal manufacture: If it bears the original mark of the 18th/19th century (not just “in style”), valuations easily exceed €5,000 - €10,000+. HISTORY The piece was a 'Modèle de Présentation', i.e., a specimen personally selected to be exhibited in the family’s representative galleries to astonish guests during diplomatic receptions. Meticulously preserved for generations away from direct light and temperature fluctuations, the vase has retained the original brilliance of the gilded gold and the depth of cobalt blue, making it a museum-quality piece that elevates any private collection. Historical Context The vase belongs to the golden era of European porcelain craftsmanship of the 20th century, created by the Florence-based luxury company Giulia Mangani, characterized by Rococo Revival taste (Louis XV Style). This manufactory embodies the period when hand-painted porcelain represented the ultimate status symbol of nobility and the European upper bourgeoisie. The complex high-relief modeling and the gilding with brush-applied gold leaf reflect atelier-level technical mastery, close to the prestigious standards of Sevres in France or Meissen in Germany. The Subject The central reserve, set within a gilded rocailles frame, presents a pastoral gallant scene. Masterfully hand-painted, it draws inspiration from the famous compositions of Antoine Watteau and François Boucher: figures dressed according to the period conventions immersed in bucolic nature, symbolizing idyll, grace, and the elegance of times past. Symbolism of the Vase Each decorative element transmits a precise message of prestige: - The acanthus and palm leaves in relief: Rendered in deep blue with gilded gold leaf, these have symbolized victory, eternal life, and the triumph of unwavering beauty since ancient times. - The cup-like shape and the gilded rays atop: Symbolize abundance, prosperity, and the regal light emanating from within the home. The pastoral scene: Evokes the pursuit of harmony, courtly love, and inner peace—values highly sought after in noble houses. Rarity of the Pendant (Overall Value) In high-end collecting, the presence or readiness to pair (mirror image) massively increases the commercial value of the work. Vases of this type were conceived as display pieces for mantels or entry consoles: finding an example preserved in excellent condition with intact gilding is a rare feat in itself, but offering it as a single elite piece or paired with its pendant makes the purchase a true art investment. Noble History of the Vase Objects of this architectural and decorative caliber were not intended for daily use but as parade pieces for the reception rooms of noble residences and historic palaces of European aristocracy. The molded base with a rigid pedestal and curling feet, combined with the imposing 360-degree decorative presence, attests to provenance from esteemed, refined commissions. Final Meaning This vase represents the quintessence of 20th-century ceramic art: not a simple furnishing element, but a porcelain sculpture that fuses exemplary painting, mastery of shaping, and the precious luster of gold. A piece of history capable of lending immediacy, grandeur, and timeless charm to any private collection.
