This porcelain vase, crafted by the Vincennes Manufactory in 1747-1758, is a prime example of Rococo-era decorative arts. The piece showcases the factory's mastery of intricate details and vibrant color palettes. Featuring a deep blue ground accented with gold, the vase is adorned with delicate floral motifs, some painted, and others modeled in three dimensions.
