Pair Vincennes vases Parseval
 
Pair small Vincennes vases Parseval. The vases, of the variant form without the swelling at the base, were made at Vincennes as early as 1748 and seemed to have ceased production by 1756. The design is loosely based on the Medecis vase. The vases are decorated with polychrome flowers painted in the early technique using outlines for the flowers and leaves. [One vase with a chipped base; the other with a tiny chip in the base and another tiny chip under the rim.]


Vincennes crossed “L” marks, One with a large single central dot; the other with three vertical dots.
