Vintage Blush Pink Potpourri Vase Wooden Box Sign
Vintage Blush Pink Potpourri Vase Wooden Box Sign. Discover the elegance and history of the Potpourri Vase (pot-pourri à vaisseau), a masterpiece from the late 1750s Sèvres collection. Among the most novel and ambitious designs, these vases feature extravagant shapes, such as the iconic elephant-head vases and the ship-shaped potpourri vase. Although not universally admired, with critics like Thomas Bentley calling them "clumsy," they were highly favored by the French court, including Louis-Joseph de Bourbon, prince de Condé, and Madame de Pompadour.
Purchased in 1758, a garniture of five vases, including the potpourri vase, cost the prince 4,320 livres, exceeding a typical worker's annual income. Today, only ten ship-shaped vases and twenty-two elephant-head vases are known to survive, marking them as rare treasures of artistic and historical significance.
For contrast, we selected a rugged dark gray background to highlight this elegant vase image, which is part of the MET museum collection and in the public domain.

Creator Review
I am so absolutely beyond thrilled! I'm Lori Blevins the owner/artist/designer of Art of Allowing. I ordered this 8" x 6" rustic wood box in distressed white featuring my hummingbird watercolor painting so that I could see how my design would look on these rustic boxes. I could not be more thrilled with how well my painting transferred over to the rustic wood box. The finished product far exceeded my expectations! The image displayed on the wooden box is crystal clear, vibrantly colorful and the box itself is simple yet professionally constructed. I am so excited to offer these rustic wood box signs as gift options in my Zazzle stores! Thank you Zazzle for offering yet another fabulous unique gift option for me to use in both displaying/selling my artwork! I could not be more thrilled with how well my painting transferred over to the rustic wood box. The finished product far exceeded my expectations! The image displayed on the wooden box is crystal clear, vibrantly colorful and the box itself is simple yet professionally constructed. This is a fabulous way for designers to uniquely showcase their art!
