The ormolu mounts include intricate scrolled handles, beaded edges, and decorative bases, adding a touch of classical elegance to the bold Sang de Boeuf finish.

The Sèvres factory, famed for its innovations in ceramic design, was known for collaborating with talented designers like Paul Millet, who led the Sèvres ceramic studio.

These vases reflect the Sèvres tradition of blending French craftsmanship with exotic influences, resulting in highly collectible and decorative pieces. less
