Pair of Passant Lions with Hot Air Balloon, Silver Plate Epergne, Meriden

pkversion — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 08:26:01 +0000

Highly unusual, seemingly to be, one of a kind silver plate epergne by Meriden Britannia Company of Connecticut. No doubt circa 1875 and manufactured to commemorate the launching of “Le Tricolre Balloon” on June 6th, 1874 in France (I have attached image of actual French hot air balloon; see images). It was thought that mail might be transported across the English Channel and Irish Sea by hot air balloon but the concept never materialized.
The two passant lions in a regal British coat of arms posture proudly balance the hot air balloon, which is beautifully shaped crystal with a raised etched glass floral pattern in white. The pattern consists of an intertwining floral circumference, with floral “teardrops” below; all raised and white. The lions are cast with upturned tail, and intricate detail to the mane and ribs of the body (see images). The base of the holder has a leaf pattern to the 3/4″ base circumference design.
The Meriden hallmark with “Meridan B. Co.” and a set of scales enclosed by a shield with the number “209” are one of the earlier logos used by this company which opened for business in 1865 in Meriden, Connecticut.
The condition is excellent with almost all of the silver plate intact; no breaks or cracks to the glass; and no restoration of any kind. There is very slight chipping to the lip of the opening on the glass at the top.

Monumental Pair of 19th Century French Sèvres Celeste Blue Porcelain Cachepots

pkversion — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 14:42:25 +0000

A monumental and rare pair of 19th century French dore bronze mounted Sèvres Celeste blue porcelain cachepots. These cache pots are extremely rare to find in this monumental size. Each is hand painted in a celest blue ground with two sides of spectacular panels. The primary panels are of Watteau lovers scenes, one in the summer and the other in the winter. The opposing side is of a gorgeous meadow with rams, fruit and flowers, while the other panel is of a hunting dog who caught a heir and wild birds of game.

The cachepots are further adorned in 24-karat raised gold decoration and are surmounted on circular dore bronze mounts with four square sections with acanthus leaves in high relief. The tops of the cachepots are also dore bronze with open work and double handled with a swirling vine design running from each handle downward to the base. Pieces like these are extremely difficult to fire and preserve in this condition. They usually break due to their sheer weight and constant hand-work before perfection, making these piece even more rare than usual. These pieces were both signed by the artist who completed their painting, a rarity in the Sèvres Porcelain world.
