ALMOST CERTAINLY SUPPLIED BY LAZARE DUVAUX, THE PORCELAIN QIANLONG PERIOD (1735-1795), THE MOUNTS CIRCA 1750-1755
The porcelain bodies each modeled as a fierce carp with swirling water issuing from its open mouth, the raised tails set into elaborate foliate scroll mounts issuing high loop handles conceived as bulrushes and scrolls, on bases naturalistically modeled bold C-scrolls, coral, acanthus, shells and sponges, the mounts on one vase stamped M several times, presumably the mark of a 19th century restorer
12 ¼ in. (31.5 cm.) high
