Cobalt blue ground porcelain with ormolu bronze mounts, gilt embossed foliate trails, gilt painted details. Two painted scenes, one with two women and a man playing a lute, signed 'Cottinet' in the lower right corner. Reverse features an unsigned painted scene of a country view with abandoned flowers and hat near the foot of an architectural ediface. Oval jardiniere mounted on a similar cobalt blue pedestal base, with gold painted trim. Measures 17 x 23 x 11.5 inches.

Good condition, painted elements very strong, mild wear to ormolu. Missing one ornate screw nut to the underside of the ormolu framework, bolted at the base of the jardiniere and pedestal foot, both a bit loose. This piece has been used as a centerpiece with faux flowers and shows a few spots of masking tape residue on the inside bowl.
