HISTORICAL-TECHNICAL ANALYSIS & ATTRIBUTION A superb pair of trophy vases in polychrome porcelain and 24k gold, datable to 1835–1850. A thorough morphological and stylistic examination allows for a definitive attribution to the production of Jacob Petit (Paris/Fontainebleau), based on the following objective technical data: 1. Morphological Analysis (Model and Mold) The design of the "rocaille" scalloped rim and the phytomorphic double-scroll handles are not generic decorative elements; they belong to the specific registered repertoire of Jacob Petit. The complexity of the mold, featuring intricate undercuts characteristic of French hard-paste porcelain, is a hallmark of the Fontainebleau factory, known for its refusal to simplify forms for mass production. 2. Gilding and Burnishing Characteristics The extensive use of gold is not merely decorative but follows the advanced technique of high-fire gilding, burnished with agate stone. The mirror-like brilliance observed on the bases and neck is a definitive indicator of Petit’s technological quality. He utilized a higher gold karat than contemporary manufacturers, ensuring the resistance to oxidation that is still clearly visible today. 3. Miniature Painting and Pigments The central scenes display a color saturation (particularly in the greens and blues) achieved through specific metallic oxides unique to Petit’s palette. The rendering of the faces, defined with extreme miniaturist precision, matches the repertoire of the master portraitists employed in his atelier, standing in stark contrast to the printed or roughly sketched decorations of common commercial porcelain. PROVENANCE AND TRACEABILITY This pair originates from the private collection of the Broglie family, of the French Ducal House. Its belonging to this specific noble lineage for generations serves as evidence of authenticity. The uninterrupted traceability within a historic residence excludes late 19th or 20th-century reproductions, confirming that the vases were acquired during the peak period of the Parisian workshop’s activity (1830–1850).
