Pair Louis XVI Sevres Style Bleu Celeste Porcelain Vases

This wonderful pair of porcelain vases, circa 1890s, are based on the Sevres design, circa 1765, in the Greek style with baluster form, fluted pedestal, and base embossed with acanthus leaves and compartments topped with headband decorated with medallions adorned with the portraits of lovely females, with neck and fluted pilasters of leaf garlands and topped with frieze decorated with Greek key motif.  Measures: 21 x 12 x 12 in; 53 x 30 x 30 cm.
