Near Pair of Baluster Shape Vases, Chelsea, circa 1755
About the Item
Baluster shaped vase in soft paste porcelain with early gilt line decoration. Superb flower painting.
The shapes are very close, and the gilding is slightly more elaborate on the second vase, which probably about a year later than the first, when they were becoming more confident of gilding. Gilding was one of the few tasks given to women at Chelsea at the time.
Chelsea porcelain is particularly known for its delicate flower painting, which are characterized by intricate and highly detailed depictions of flowers and other botanical specimens. These paintings were typically done in enamel colors and fired onto the surface of the porcelain, creating a vibrant, permanent image. The flower paintings on Chelsea Porcelain are considered to be some of the finest examples of porcelain art from the 18th century and are highly sought after by collectors and museums today.
