Pair of signed royal vienna 26cm hand-painted porcelain vases-signed a.heer 1880

A magnificent pair of Royal Vienna-style cabinet vases, each beautifully hand-painted and signed by the artist A. Heer, one of the accomplished painters of late-19th-century Viennese porcelain. Both vases feature romantic neoclassical scenes of graceful figures surrounded by soft landscapes, painted with exceptional delicacy and depth of colour. Their rich ruby ground is lavishly adorned with intricate raised 24 K gilt scrollwork and fine borders, creating a perfect harmony of colour and form. Each vase stands proudly on a square pedestal base with matching gilt decoration, crowned by a turquoise-enamel finial that adds an elegant finishing touch. Designed as a true companion pair, each piece complements the other while retaining its own unique scene, exemplifying the refinement and artistic excellence of Austrian porcelain at the height of its craftsmanship. Artist A. Heer signed on both paintings. Origin Austria, Royal Vienna style, circa 1880–1900. Height approximately 26 cm each. Condition excellent, with no chips, cracks, or restoration; gilding bright and luminous. A museum-quality pair distinguished by their beauty, symmetry, and artistry—an exceptional addition to any fine collection or interior.
