{"product_id":"sevres-style-cobalt-ceramic-lidded-urn-vase-brass-scrollwork-floral-medallion","title":"Sèvres-Style Cobalt Ceramic Lidded Urn Vase with Brass Scrollwork Handles \u0026 Floral Medallion","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew objects in the decorative arts carry the cultural weight of the great Sèvres porcelain urn — a form that defined aristocratic taste across eighteenth-century Europe. This handcrafted cobalt ceramic lidded urn from Brass \u0026amp; Wood faithfully interprets that royal tradition: the deep, saturated cobalt ground catches and holds the eye, while the central hand-painted floral medallion — a lush bouquet of roses and blooms rendered in soft creams and pinks — provides a breath of naturalistic warmth against the jewel-toned field. The silhouette is that of the classic campana urn: a swelling ovoid body that narrows to a spherical knop before meeting the gilded stepped base, crowned by a foliate finial of cast brass that echoes the acanthus vocabulary of the Rococo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is formed from high-fired ceramic finished with a deep cobalt glaze that recalls the iconic bleu de roi of the Sèvres manufactory. Against this ground, an intricate gilt lattice network — \u003cem\u003equadrillage doré\u003c\/em\u003e — is applied by hand, framing the floral cartouche with geometric precision. The twin handles are cast in solid brass and hand-finished into elaborate scrollwork forms: curving S-volutes terminating in acanthus leaf sprays, a motif synonymous with Louis XV and Louis XVI decorative vocabulary. The removable lid is crowned by a cast-brass finial of overlapping leaves, adding vertical drama to the already impressive silhouette. The base is a tiered square plinth in gilded brass, its faces decorated with egg-and-dart and acanthus relief moldings that anchor the composition with classical authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeighing 4 kg, this piece carries the satisfying heft of quality materials — a tactile assurance of its substance. The gilded brass base is cast in a stepped square profile, the upper tier featuring a beaded rope molding and the lower register adorned with an acanthus frieze. Each element — from the precisely fitted lid to the flared foot ring — reflects the attention to proportion that distinguishes a great urn from a merely decorative one. Please note that specific height and width dimensions are available upon request from our team.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece in the Brass \u0026amp; Wood atelier is the work of skilled Egyptian craftsmen who have trained in the traditions of classical European decorative arts. The floral medallion is hand-painted by a dedicated artist; the brass components are individually cast, chased, and polished; and the gilded latticework is applied with a fine brush in multiple passes to achieve depth and luminosity. This is not mass production — it is a slow, deliberate process of creation in which each urn is treated as a unique object deserving of the highest level of attention. Proudly made in Egypt, bringing the heritage of European luxury craftsmanship to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this vase made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is high-fired ceramic with a deep cobalt glaze and hand-applied gilt detailing.
