Pair of Jacob Petit Cornucopia Vases dating Circa 1810. These are on a royal blue ground. Each scrolling foliate coruncopia stands on a scroll moulded rectangular base. They are painted with reserves of flowers.
There has been old restoration to the base on one vase. There are firing faults on both bases. The gilding is slightly worn and there are some small flea bites on both bases. Apart from these the condition is good.
Jacob Petit (1796-1865), the most famous porcelain artist of the 19th century, began his career studying painting. A stay in England, gave him a passion for decorative art. On his return to France, he, and his brother Mardochée, began a modest porcelain manufactory in Sèvres. By 1830, they had moved the concern to Belleville. By 1838, success had allowed them to purchase the Baruch Weill factory in Fontainebleau. Nine years later, Petit's Fontainebleau factory was employing 200 craftsmen. His work reflected the flavour of the times in France: in all the arts, there was a fusion of Neo-classical, rococo, and Romantic (Gothic) elements.
