Prunus Blossom Vase #2

This is a really nice little vase made of soft paste porcelain by St. Cloud of France in the early to mid 18th century. It is rare to find pieces like this but they have been identified as having been made by them and they are always marked as seen. The vase is decorated with prunus branches with blossoms on both sides with the thickest part of the branch forming the handles. The softpaste is really white and looks amazing! The detail of the relief design is superb as well. Really does not get much better than this except maybe in size. The piece is marked underneath as shown. Never could figure out what it stands for but these little cuties are always marked the same not that you see them often at all. It is certainly a superb piece and in perfect condition except for two of the little round balls / flower buds have been chipped. The inside of the vase is unglazed except around the top. Someone used it as a candleholder years ago and there is some wax on the inside and residue of a candle. The vase is 4.625 inches tall, 2 inches deep and 2.755 inches wide. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $999
