A decorative pair of Grand Tour bronze-patinated urns of ancient Greek 'volute krater' form,  Italy, 19th century. Why we like them We love the decorative look of these urns, evoking the Grand Tour travels of the 19th century. Perfect for lamp conversion. Design This shape was introduced in the late 6th century B.C. and was favoured by significant artists who worked in terracotta and in bronze. The earliest example in bronze belongs to the late 5th century B.C. and was found in a tomb in Agrigento. A characteristic of volute-krater handles is the fine articulation of the volute itself and of the lower terminals where they rested on the shoulder of the vase. Here, as in most metal examples, they assume the form of swans' heads. A pair of handles of this design is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Chiurazzi, De Angelis and Sommer where the main Neapolitan foundries that catered for the needs and tastes of the grand-tourists throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. They produced a wide range of fine quality objects, often using the museum casts...

The porcelain factories of Dresden are renowned for this type of decorative piece and this monumental vase would have been at least one of a pair or part of a three or five piece mantle garniture at some point in its history. Alone, it is stunning. It is hand painted, but the painting is minimal when compared to other earlier examples, especially from the Meissen factory. This covered urn was created in Germany with colorful scenes during the early 20th Century. The covered lid surmounted by a gilt metal foliate finial, the baluster body with two scrolled gilt metal handles painted with a detailed figural setting in a salon with two couples listening to musical instruments their companions play within gilt ecru encrusted borders. Beautiful. This type of porcelain became collectible in the 1960s and reached the height of the market in the 1990s. Since then, fashions have changed greatly, but this is still a statement piece that endures in wonderful condition. and so prices have fallen quite dramatically especially in a traditional auction. However, this is still an impressive piece, signed indistinctly, on a circular socle atop a square raised plinth base. Marked with the underglaze blue Dresden mark...

The monumental J.J. Kaendler 1780’s Meissen Schneeballen porcelain lidded urn with bird mounts is an exquisite and rare piece of art that embodies the craftsmanship and beauty of the Meissen porcelain tradition. Standing tall and proud, this urn commands attention with its impressive size and intricate details. The urn is attributed to Johann Joachim Kaendler, a renowned master sculptor and modeler who worked at the Meissen factory during the 18th century. His skill and artistic vision are evident in every aspect of this stunning piece. The porcelain urn is adorned with the distinctive Schneeballen (snowball) motif, characterized by delicate porcelain flowers clustered together in the shape of a ball. Each flower is meticulously handcrafted and painted with great precision and attention to detail. The flowers create a mesmerizing visual effect, resembling a blooming snowball frozen in time. Each Schneeballen motif is accented by grenadiers of wild vines, vivid flowers and just absolutely stunning detail across every inch! Adding to the grandeur of this piece are the exquisite bird mounts that adorn the urn. These bird mounts, also made of porcelain, showcase the mastery of Meissen artisans in creating lifelike and realistic representations of nature. The birds are beautifully modeled, capturing their natural grace and elegance. Their vibrant colors and intricate feathers further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the urn. The lid of the urn is equally impressive, featuring a finial in the form of a majestic bird in flight. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every feather is meticulously sculpted, giving the impression of movement and capturing the essence of freedom and grace. Standing at an impressive height, this monumental urn becomes a centerpiece wherever it is displayed. Its presence exudes elegance and sophistication, making it a true collector's item and a symbol of luxury. The urn's porcelain construction adds to its allure, as Meissen porcelain is known for its exceptional quality and durability. The smooth and flawless surface of the urn reflects the expertise of Meissen artisans in achieving a perfect finish. The delicate yet sturdy nature of the porcelain ensures that this exquisite piece will stand the test of time, preserving its beauty for generations to come. The color palette used in this urn is a testament to the refined taste and artistic sensibilities of the Meissen craftsmen. Soft pastel hues, vibrant floral tones, and richly detailed bird plumage all come together to create a harmonious and visually captivating composition. The careful application of color adds depth and dimension to the porcelain, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the urn. As a lidded urn, this piece not only serves as a decorative object but also has practical functionality. The lid not only protects the contents within but also adds an additional layer of elegance to the design. The seamless integration of the lid into the overall composition showcases the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship of the Meissen artisans. The historical significance of this piece cannot be understated. Dating back to the 18th century, it represents a golden era of Meissen porcelain production and the continuation of the artistic traditions established by the Meissen factory in the 1700's. Its rarity and the skill required to create such a masterpiece make it a highly sought-after treasure for collectors and connoisseurs of fine porcelain. In conclusion, the monumental J.J. Kaendler Meissen Schneeballen porcelain lidded urn is a breathtaking work of art. Its impressive size, intricate Schneeballen motif, lifelike bird...
