This pair of grand Sevres vases in "Pompadour Pink" dates back to the 19th century and are beautifully hand painted on both sides. Each large front panel features three costumed 18th century figures. On one vase we see a woman pointing off into the distance, a man stares longingly towards her, while another woman points her attention towards him. The other vase shows two men courting a woman with a fort in the background. The back sides show gorgeous pastoral scenes; long, stretching country roads with trees in the foreground and hills in the back are accompanied by a light blue sky. The gold pattern work uses gold leaf, and the pieces are stamped with the Sevres mark as well as a mark noting the chateau they were made for.
