beautiful and well-preserved pair of medici vases in the style of grand tour objects.
each with a three-part pedestal made of siena marble. Above the wider base we see a surrounding frieze of leaves and flowers on which the stele rests. A tazza vase moulded in low relief in a wreath of vine leaves is located on each side of the stele, thus defining the front or viewing side.
the vases themselves have a dark patina and contrast beautifully with the yellow-veined stone. On their square base, an upwardly retracted foot rests on fine floral wreaths. Two handles based on bacchantes' heads are mounted on each of the bulbous vase bodies.
the wider protruding mouth rims have a diameter of around 14 cm.
condition:
beautiful and authentic condition with few traces of age on the outside and clearer signs of use on the inside. less
