COBALT-BLUE PORCELAIN VASE. IMPERIAL PORCELAIN FACTORY RUSSIA, 19TH CENTURY

A decorative porcelain vase of classical form, with a rounded body and elongated neck, finished in a rich, deep cobalt-blue glaze. Its restrained design and elegant contours reflect the refined simplicity and expressive use of colour characteristic of Russian artistic porcelain during the late Imperial period. The lustrous, intensely dark-blue glazed surface accentuates the vase`s flowing lines and harmonious proportions. The white-glazed interior provides a striking contrast to the deep cobalt-blue exterior. Vases of this type were intended as decorative furnishings for grand interiors, drawing rooms and private studies. The underside bears a blue underglaze mark depicting an Imperial crown above a monogram, tentatively attributed to the Imperial Porcelain Factory. Material and Technique: Porcelain, cobalt-blue glaze. Dimensions: Height 30 cm; diameter 20 cm. Condition: Good condition, with minor signs of age and use.

Estimate:£1,671.20
