Crafted in hard-paste porcelain, it is finished with a pure white glaze accented by delicate pink washes and detailed with profuse hand-applied gilding. The ornate Rococo-inspired decoration includes deeply moulded floral and foliate motifs around the spout, handle, lid, and foot, all highlighted with fine gilding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe body adopts a distinctive eight-lobed baluster form, a popular silhouette during the period, providing multiple surfaces for decorative emphasis. The restrained use of pink and the rich gilding echo contemporary interior trends of the time, favouring elegant but opulent colour schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe Rococo Revival style, fashionable across Europe during the second quarter of the 19th century, took inspiration from 18th-century French porcelain, particularly the works of Sèvres and Meissen. Pieces like this were often created both for practical use and for display, reflecting the taste and social status of their owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eWeight: 1074 g\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 26 cm \/ 10.24″\u003cbr\u003eWidth (handle to spout): 21 cm \/ 8.27″\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 16 cm \/ 6.30″\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eExcellent antique condition.
