Pair of Paris Porcelain Urns, second quarter 19th century, with hand-painted scenes depicting the birth of Cupid, one draped in green and the other in red, framed with tooled borders and set with swan's head handles, the reverse sides decorated with fronds of leaves, medallions, and lyres of acanthus leaves on a matte gilt ground, h. 12-1/2", w. 5-1/2", d. 4".

Each urn has restoration and re-gilt to the flaring necks, and restoration to top portions of handles, probably restored cracks rather then rebuilding. The decorated front and back panels on each vase are in good unrestored condition. On each vase, the top section of the foot is restored, and there is some re-gilt to the lower section. The case with the red curtain has a restored corner to the base.
