Pair Continental Empire Porcelain Vases, Peach Gilt, Claw Feet, Marked 23

A matched pair of Continental Empire campana-form oval vases on gilt claw-foot bases, in the Old Paris tradition, late 19th to mid-20th century. White porcelain body with soft peach horizontal bands at rim and waist, gilt line accents, and four boldly modeled gilt lion's paw feet on a square plinth. The oval campana form, claw feet, and peach-and-gilt palette are characteristic of the Empire decorative vocabulary as interpreted by Continental workshops through the late 19th century. Marked "23" on base; no additional maker's backstamp. Each measures 4½ in H × 6¼ in W × 4¼ in D. Sound condition; no chips or cracks noted; gilt showing honest age. Sold as a pair only.
