Shakespearean Royal Vienna Porcelain Vase
Unavailable
Our tremendous cobalt blue porcelain Royal Vienna vase, 30 inches (76 cm) tall, features extensive gilded decorations and cartouches on front and rear depicting a scene from Shakespeare's play, The Merchant of Venice, and the playwright himself at the court of Queen Elizabeth I after the original French School painting. One scene signed F. Lezleh.
The play's scene, known as the Choice of the Caskets (in act three, scene two), shows Bassanio confronted with the choice of three caskets. Condition is very good.
