Antique Cobalt Jeweled Sevres Centerpiece

Antique Cobalt Jeweled Sevres Centerpiece.

An imperial antique 19th century French Sevres jeweled porcelain 24k gold decorated reticulated covered urn centerpiece.  With exquisite detail with turquoise jeweling applied finial porcelain reticulated dome cover with bronze gilt ormolu mounted rim.  It looks much like a fabergè egg as the color and workmanship of Sevres in this case is equal to that of a fabergè.  This museum quality antique covered urn was always a very expensive objet de virtu and cared for accordingly as there is no gold wear and no jewels missing.  Probably always displayed in a vitrine.  From a collection from a gold Coast long estate that included:

Bohemian glass

Moser

Dresden porcelain

Meissen

KPM plaque

8" tall x 6" wide
