Pair of Krater Vases with Fruit and Floral Decoration, K.F. Schinkel, KPM, Berlin, circa 1825

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).
