Circa 1840 Unusual Pair of Chinese Export Famille Rose,Rose Canton Cache Pots, Bough Pots. These are the most unusual planters that I have seen in the rose medallion patterns. These small flower pots have been mounted into gilt metal ormolu stands which I feel are definetely French and date around 1820-1840, therefore being of the same period as the porcelain planters themselves. It was quite the fashion when these were made to have porcelain placed into the mounts such as these. They initially were probably purchased as a mantel decoration and over the years have held small planted flowers, bulbs and plants. Flower and plant holders of any size and shape are getting harder and harder to find in chinese export porcelain and are very much in demand, expecially in famille rose canton, mandarin and rose medallion and especially in ormolu. This particular pattern is rose canton since there are no people in the scene pattern. The pots are 4" and the bottom of the pot flares out and measures 4 1/2". The total height is 3 1/2". So if you could find a small flower, orchid that has a base or less than 4" they would work perfectly as size and would look fantastic. The ormoluu is well done very well and I imagine dates the same period as the pots, 1ST Quarter of the 19TH. Century. These would look great in a sun room. Perfect Condition with no chips, cracks, or restoration. These just came out of a Estate in England from my picker. Additional images are available upon request.
