The ovoid vase stands on a circular pedestal foot. The ogee domed cover (a replacement) has a sloping rim, and a cylindrical flange fitting inside the neck of the vase. The finial is in the shape of a double pink on a stalk with two buds and four leaves. The shoulder and the dome of the cover are each pierced by six anthemion- or fan-shaped openings. The dome of the cover has a pink and blue pointillé ground. The step has a bleu nouveau ground enriched with fine irregular gold lines. The finial is heavily gilded overall; the edges of the openings are outlined in gold and there is a band of gilding round the outer edge. The shoulders of the vase have a similar pink and blue pointillé ground and the openings are similarly outlined in gold. Immediately below and divided from it by a line of gilding, the main field of the vase is on a slightly higher level. The part immediately below the line is decorated between the openings above with a stylised flower or oval patera motif in shades of dark pink and maroon, on a bleu nouveau and gilt ground. Below this are swags of red roses hanging from yellow shell motifs placed beneath each of the pierced anthemions. Above the junction of the vase and foot there is a pink, maroon, and blue 'gadroon' pattern. On the foot there are stylised green palms and dark maroon flowers separated by triangular blue panels, and a border of alternating ovals and smaller circles between gold bands. object type: Soft-paste porcelain pot-pourri vase and cover, painted in enamels with stylised flowers, leaves and shell motifs around each opening, and gilded. title: pot-pourri vase NOTES ----- type: history note value: uncertain before Louis C.G.
