Vintage Limoges Castel Cobalt Vase

A vintage Limoges Castel porcelain vase in the deepest cobalt blue, its flared, scalloped rim edged in gold above a rounded base. The front carries a courting-couple scene in the Fragonard manner — lovers in a garden, she in a pink dress — framed in raised gilt scrollwork, with gilt rose sprays at the neck.

The base is marked Limoges Castel, France, with "22K Gold" — Castel was known for exactly these rich cobalt-and-gold pieces, made to be noticed on a mantel or in a cabinet of Limoges. The cobalt interior continues inside the wavy rim.

Condition:
Good vintage condition, as shown in the photos.

Why We Love It

Cobalt and gold is the most dramatic pairing Limoges ever produced, and this vase has the prettiest silhouette — that fluted, scalloped mouth over the round body. It takes a small bouquet beautifully, but honestly it needs nothing in it at all.
