PARIS, first half of the 19th century Pair of Medici-style vases on pedestals, made of white porcelain with gilded and polychrome decoration depicting scenes—in reserve—of Greek independence and harbor landscapes; the handles are in the form of mascarons. Height: 28.5 cm. Wear to the gilding and scratches. Provenance: Purchased at the Enghien-les-Bains auction house. The scene featuring the Greek man behind a low wall and an Ottoman horseman echoes the composition of the colored lithograph [21.1 x 28.7 cm] titled “Vengeance of a Greek Family” by Karl Loeillot-Hartwig, published in Paris by Jean-Marie Bove around 1829–1835.
