Pair of porcelain krater vases with gilded ground in classical form. The bodies are painted in vibrant colors: one with fruits such as pineapple, grapes, and apples; the other with exotic flowers, most notably a striking Strelitzia. Both vases are in very good condition.

Note:
The depiction of the Strelitzia on the floral vase is likely a symbolic reference to Queen Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1776–1810).
