Object Description
Each of a baluster form in a brown patina and cold painted in polychrome, with an oriental figure in exotic dress, fanned by two servants perched upon the handles on either side with one hand hanging on to the rim, decorated with Islamic-inspired motifs, fret-work and warheads, all supported on bases decorated with pierced trefoil and ogee cartouches, signed ‘L. Hottot’.
These unique vases are a brilliant example of refined Orientalist style, which was immensely popular among early 20th Century European nobility.
