Description: Important Pair of Sevres Porcelain and Bronze Mounted Cassoulettes with an unusual feature option whereby the tops can be either a finial top insert or an open holder for a candle. (There is a delightful subtle patination difference between two choices, as the previous owner must have prefered the choice of the top to be an finial insert, since it is darker in patination, than the opposite side gilt on the candle holder part.) The decorations are incredible with bronze satyr mask handles, hand paintings on the front and back (see photos for the wonderful detail), stem base with swirl cobalt and gilt, and tiny jewels with enamel. The underneath bases have old felt and beneath that, a chamfered circular wooden support (no signature found). The quality, original condition and attention to detail is phenomenal! Circa: 1890 Dimensions: 12" H x 6" W x 5" D Finish: Good original Price: $6500.00 for the Pair
