Introducing an absolutely enchanting cornucopia – a.k.a "Horn of Plenty" – a decorative vase guaranteed to capture every gaze in the room. Crafted with utmost perfection, this cornucopia is a true marvel, featuring a body made of luxurious dark cobalt blue porcelain, while the ormolu bronze fixtures add an air of opulence with their intricate details including a lidded urn adorned with striking steed and dragon figures, and an elegantly crafted handle and base. Steeped in a rich and fascinating history, the cornucopia has long been seen as a symbol of abundance, prosperity, and good fortune. Originating from ancient Greek and Roman mythology, the cornucopia was believed to be a horn from the mythical goat Amalthea, which overflowed with an endless supply of nourishment. Its portrayal as a decorative vase has evolved over time, adapting to various artistic styles and cultural influences. Purchased in France, this contemporary WL 1895 masterpiece pays homage to the lavish Baroque design that has stood the test of time, making it a truly exceptional addition to any discerning collector's repertoire.
