Vintage Guerin Limoges Porcelain HP Cachepot Vase Desk
HERE IS A RARE, GORGEOUS, VINTAGE, LIMOGES PORCELAIN CACHEPOT, OR VASE, HAND PAINTED IN A TWO-FOLD PATTERN OF ROSES ON ONE SIDE AND MUMS ON THE REVERSE. CACHEPOTS WERE DESIGNED, IN THE LATE 1800's AND THEIR POPULARITY CONTINUED INTO THE EARLY 1900's, TO HOLD LETTERS OR OTHER DESK ACCESSORIES. THIS BEAUTIFUL DESIGNED VASE/HOLDER FEATURES CLUSTERS OF WHITE, PINK AND RED ROSES WITH RAISED WHITE ENAMELING, SURROUNDED BY LEAVES AND STEMS IN SHADINGS OF GREEN, BROWN, BLUE, YELLOW, GRAY AND WHITE. THIS DESIGN IS ON A BACKGROUND SHADED FROM CREAM TO YELLOW, TO PINK, TO BLUE, TO GRAY AND LIGHT GREEN TO DARK GREEN. THE REVERSE OF THIS RARE VASE/HOLDER/CACHEPOT FEATURES A LARGE FLORAL DESIGN OF MUMS IN PINK, RED, ORANGE AND LAVENDER/PURPLE WITH FAINT, RAISED WHITE ENAMELING ON THE UPPER FLOWERS.
THE FLOWERS ARE SURROUNDED BY LEAVES AND STEMS IN SHADINGS OF GREEN, BROWN, GRAY, ORANGE AND HIGHLIGHTED IN BLACK OUTLINES. THE DESIGN IS ON A BACKGROUND SHADING THAT CONTINUES WITH THE SHADING BEHIND THE ROSES ON THE FRONT. THE FINAL ENHANCEMENT OF THIS CACHEPOT/VASE IS THE HEAVY GOLD TRIM ON THE TWO UNUSUAL SIDE HANDLES, THE FOUR BALL FEET AND THE NARROW, TOP RIM. THE MEASUREMENTS OF THIS IMPRESSIVE RARE PIECE OF HANDPAINTED PORCELAIN ARE 12 1/2 INCHES TALL; 10 INCHES WIDE AT ITS WIDEST PART; AND THE OPENING MEASURES 8 5/8 INCHES LONG AND 5 INCHES WIDE.
THE SIZE OF THIS VASE/HOLDER/CACHEPOT IS RARE AND IMPORTANT! THE UNDERSIDE BEARS A GREEN FACTORY MARK UNDERGLAZE OF W. IT IS A PLEASURE TO POINT OUT TO VIEWERS OF THIS WORK OF ART THAT THE ARTIST HAS GIVEN CREDIT TO HIS WORK WITH HIS SIGNATURE "FREIBERG". IT IS LOCATED IN THE ROSE DESIGN BENEATH THE RED ROSE ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
THIS CACHEPOT, OR VASE HAS NO CRACKS OR CHIPS. IT IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. A TERRIFIC, RARE, ADDITION TO ANY HANDPAINTED LIMOGES PORCELAIN COLLECTION, OR FOR THE COLLECTOR OF ANYTHING SHOWING ROSES AND MUMS!
