Dutch School (19th Century) - A classical vase, shown with a swag of flowers Watercolour Indistinct signature on plinth Framed: 104 x 86 cm. (41 x 34 in) Provenance: Kevin Delahunty Antiques; from whom purchased by Mallett, 2002 Literature: Mallett, 19th Century Catalogue , 2003; Mallett, Rococo , 2004 This vase of flowers is derivative of an archetypal form seen in Dutch and Flemish paintings of the 17th century when flowers and insects had a didactic purpose: to remind us of the perishable and mortal state of man and the brevity and insignificance of our own indulgent pleasures. An antique vase reveals part of the name of the LYCIDAS, a name that is common in ancient Greek pastorals. The vase is adorned with a luxurious variety of spring and summer garden flowers that tumble predominantly to the left, the vase being visible on the right. This still-life as a whole is quite idealised and functions purely decoratively. However, during the 19th century a great interest in professional and amateur botany began, and the flowers drawn here are carefully and truthfully rendered, so that we can recognise clearly the unbelievably comprehensive bouquet of ivy, roses of various varieties, peonies, primroses, pinks, tulips, honeysuckle, daffodils, hyacinths, forget-me-knots, snowdrops, lilac, lobelia, anemones, longi lilies, amaranthus (love lies bleeding) gentians (blue bottom left), violas, violets, dianthus, willow, narcissus, berried ivy, pansies, eidelweis. Lot offered without reserve.

* Two Porcelain Figurines of Children Gardeners POPOV MANUFACTORY, MOSCOW, 1830s Height of the girl 13 cm, of the boy 11.5 cm. with blue underglaze and impressed manufactory marks Hugely popular, from the second half of the 18th century, among the wares produced by European porcelain factories were the graceful statuettes of the “Children Gardeners” series. These figures were first made at the Meissen porcelain manufactory, however, it is not quite clear precisely which figures of this series were brought together into a unified group or when. Following the example of master craftsmen at the leading European factories, porcelain manufactories in Russia also began to develop this theme, particularly the Imperial Porcelain, Gardner and Popov manufactories. As a rule, private producers borrowed the figures that were in demand at the Imperial Porcelain Factory, and turned for the original models to Meissen sales catalogues, where the little figures might go together in elegant pairs, but also be sold individually. Various designs were used for colouring the brightly painted figurines. The proportions of the figure, the details of the costume (bodice with piping and bows at the shoulders, pinafore, long skirt, slippers with bows, and bonnets), and the ill-formed plinth with gilded rocaille patterns incline towards and are similar to German models, but at the same time preserve their special local colouring.
