    I do t know anything about these. Supposedly 19th century, hand painted And did not come with tops. Anything you can add would be greatly appreciated. They also did not know the maker but they came with a tag that read Sèvres which they kept reading as Servers Oh well Thank you for any help you can provide

    Try Searching Sevres vases with ormolu mounts. They look to be hand painted and the mounts look to be pretty good quality so they could be exactly as the ticket said. As it is one of the most copied marks in the world they may not be.

    I was trying to sift through the marks. There are a ton!!! I didn’t remember ormolu, that will probably help! Thank you so much

    I'm suspicious. If they're as old as they purport, that ormolu is awfully shiny. And the base fitting is sloppy.

    I think they are beautiful and, like John Brassey, the mounts look pretty good to me, but I'm in no position to authenticate.

    Are those shoulder mounts sitting loose? It looks like they are slipping.

    I also have suspicions because the Sevres mark is much copied like Meissen and Vienna. I find the painting rather simple.

    The pictures below show perfectly what an average sevres porcelain would look like. when you look, do you get the idea that they have the same quality workmanship as this one?

    only that epoxy hars-like stuff underneath the ornament says enough, i think.

    The ormolu is loose in place the shoulder ones are moving all around
    I’ll inspect them better but I am only just learning porcelain.
