Very pretty antique vase with painting on front and back. Front is a woman in a garden with a butterfly on her shoulder and a small boy looking on. The painting is signed, P. Roche. On the back is a landscape.
I'm not sure how to assess the condition: I would call it 'very good', although it is appearent that it has been used to hold flowers at one point, as there is residue on the inside. Also, there is a small amount of rust where the bottom of the vase joins to the base. There are no cracks or chips.
The handles and other trim are ornate. It has ornate, raised gold painted accents from top to bottom.
On the underside of the vase, there is a double L mark (with a letter inside which is difficult to make out. There is also what appears to be a number (perhaps 8.11 ?? or 8.41 ?? or 811 ?? or 841 ??) encircled below the double L mark. The number itself is difficult to make out. The word "SEVRES" is printed below the number.
