This handcrafted lidded urn vase — faithful to the opulent language of 18th-century European porcelain manufacture — announces its presence through the tension of deep cobalt against warm ivory ceramic, punctuated by richly gilded brass mounts that frame and elevate every surface. Set atop a pierced and scrolled brass plinth, the urn rises to a domed lid crowned by a fluted finial, evoking the ceremonial vessels that once graced the mantelpieces and console tables of Versailles and the great Napoleonic salons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is crafted from high-fired ceramic in the Sèvres aesthetic — the ivory ground providing a luminous canvas against which the cobalt blue bands read with striking depth. The centrepiece of the vase is a hand-painted floral cartouche: roses, dahlias, and trailing foliage rendered with the controlled brushwork of a porcelain painter, enclosed within a rocaille-style gilt reserve. The neck and lid carry sinuous gilt acanthus-and-scroll arabesque decoration on deep cobalt bands, while the base and collar are edged with precise gold banding. The brass hardware — including the ornate seahorse-form side handles, the filigree pierced base plinth, and all applied mounts — is cast and finished to complement the ceramic's gilded accents, creating a unified composition of cobalt, ivory, and warm gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis statement piece weighs 4 kg, indicative of its substantial ceramic and brass construction. The tall, architectural silhouette — with its domed lid, elongated neck, swelling body, and elevated plinth — creates dramatic vertical presence suited to console tables, mantelpieces, library shelving, and grand reception entryways. Available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece in the Brass \u0026amp; Wood collection is born in Egypt, where generations of artisans have carried forward the traditions of decorative craftsmanship. This urn is individually handcrafted, meaning no two pieces are precisely identical — each floral cartouche is painted by hand, each brass mount is individually fitted, and the final assembly reflects the judgment and care of a skilled maker. When you place this urn in your home, you receive not just a decorative object, but an artifact of living craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this vase made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis luxury lidded urn is crafted from high-fired ceramic with cobalt and ivory glaze decoration, hand-painted floral motifs, and applied brass hardware including cast handles and a pierced plinth base.
