Pair of Large 1960s Royal Dux Porcelain Vases in Cobalt Blue and Gold - 25½"

This beautiful pair of generously sized Royal Dux porcelain vases, made in the 1960s, has a wonderfully decorative design, combining deep cobalt blue glaze, rich gilded highlights and delicate floral decoration. Each vase has a full, rounded body resting on a fluted pedestal foot, with tall, elegantly modeled handles and an elaborately shaped rim. Their substantial proportions give them a strong decorative presence, further emphasized by the elaborate ornamentation. The white porcelain bodies are decorated with bouquets of blue flowers, their delicate painting contrasting beautifully with the rich blue and gold of the upper sections. Scrolling details, small white blossoms and raised gilded decoration give the pair an opulent, almost theatrical appearance. Both vases are in excellent condition, with no visible chips, and bear the Royal Dux manufacturer's mark beneath their bases.

Founded in the 19th century, Royal Dux became known for its decorative porcelain, often drawing inspiration from historical styles and ornamental traditions. These vases are a fine expression of that taste for elaborate decoration, with their generous proportions making them particularly impressive. Displayed together on a large mantel or symmetrically on a long console beneath a gilded mirror, they would create a striking arrangement. Their bold colors and exuberant forms could also bring a playful touch of old-fashioned grandeur to a more contemporary interior. Both vases are in perfect condition and bear the Royal Dux manufacturer's mark beneath their bases.
