Description:

Designed by C. Warth and produced by Villeroy & Boch in Mettlach, this 19th-century lidded porcelain vase is a spectacular example of German historicist ceramic art. The body features a finely detailed, medieval-inspired courtship scene framed by scrollwork and florals, rendered in soft blue, earthy brown, and celadon green glazes.

The domed lid is richly enameled with interlocking scales and neoclassical motifs, while the pedestal base is adorned with raised medallions, scrolls, and jewel-toned accents. Signed and numbered on the base with the Mettlach tower mark, this highly collectible vase exemplifies the brand’s fusion of narrative decoration and ornamental mastery. A striking focal point for collectors of 19th-century European ceramics or architectural statement pieces.
