The base stands on four claw feet and cartouches in the form of cut leather decorated with shells. The gilt bronze handles are decorated with lion's head surmounted by a shell and finished with a foliage motif. The lid is topped with a rococo foliage and a pine cone. Mark HN n°2.22 under the foot. Each vase is decorated with a turquoise background with gilt decoration and two scenes in cartouches: a landscape scene and a "gallant scene". The landscapes present a swamp with an autumnal atmosphere or the shores of a quiet lake. In one scene, a young woman, wearing a dress with a rolled-up apron and a straw hat, is blindfolded while a young man in a pink jacket tickles her neck with a feather. On the other, a shepherdess in a pink apron holds a bale of hay under her arm and a shepherd's crook in the other. She turns to a gentleman in a rust-colored jacket and pink breeches who shows her the way. This is a French work from the 19th century. Want to know more about gallant scenes?
