The Baroque style porcelain centerpiece features children cavorting around another on a central plinth, all on a rocky form base, together with four separate putti bud vases. The main centerpiece is impressed with a "B" inside a "Crossed L" mark. The putti vases each have a blue-glazed line and sunburst mark, and are inscribed "Leblond"; two with French paper labels. Centerpiece Condition: The plinth has a large chip; the bolted figure on top is loosened, and the flowers in her hands are broken off/partially broken; three of the other figures have broken/missing fingers, and one has an old repair to the neck; there are several cracks in the stones, and pieces of moss broken off. Condition of Vases: One putto has a broken/missing foot and wings, and the vase portion is broken off/missing; another has a chip/loss to the vase. All in need of cleaning.
