Rococo Ceramic Trumpet Vase on Ornate Brass Stand with Floral Cartouche

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room with the same quiet authority as a well-proportioned vase elevated on a sculptural stand. This Rococo ceramic trumpet vase — its dramatically flared bell mouth rising from a narrowed waist — captures the exuberant spirit of 18th-century French decorative arts. The deep wine ground, reminiscent of the celebrated claret-ground Sèvres porcelain produced for the court of Louis XV, sets a rich theatrical backdrop against which the gilded ornament and hand-painted floral cartouche perform with extraordinary visual impact.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The vase body is formed from fine ceramic fired to a smooth, glassy finish. The deep wine (burgundy) ground is applied with striking evenness, and the surface is enriched with gold-painted diaper lattice work across the upper register — a hallmark of 18th-century European porcelain decoration. At the centre, a gently scalloped oval cartouche frames a delicately rendered bouquet of roses, peonies, and forget-me-nots executed in soft polychrome tones entirely by hand. The rim is finished with a gracefully undulating scalloped edge gilded in gold, echoing the fluid, asymmetric energy of Rococo design. The accompanying stand is cast in brass with exceptional intricacy: four cabriole legs terminating in scrolled acanthus feet support a circular plinth, while a swag of cast foliate garlands is draped between them — every leaf and petal individually chased for definition.

Dimensions & Details

The vase is presented as a complete one-piece decorative set (vase + stand), weighing 4 kg in total. The trumpet silhouette, combined with the ornate brass base, creates a verticality well-suited to console tables, mantelpieces, sideboards, and reception credenzas. Minimal assembly is required to seat the vase onto its stand. Available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is produced in Egypt by artisans who draw on generations of decorative craft tradition. The ceramic body is hand-decorated by skilled painters, while the brass stand is individually cast and hand-finished. This commitment to handcrafted production means each vase carries subtle individual character — no two are precisely identical. Brass & Wood offers the possibility of customization in brass finish and, subject to minimum quantities, in ceramic ground color, allowing this piece to be precisely calibrated to your project's requirements.
