Why You’ll Love It
A striking example of classical refinement, this gold plated bronze urn vase by David Iriarte features a richly detailed ormolu-style base and handles paired with a luminous pale blue hand enameled faux marble body, hand-painted to emulate Asian blue marble with delicate veining throughout. The graceful silhouette and ornate mounts evoke the elegance of 19th-century French Rococo design, reminiscent of decorative objects found in grand salons and curated interiors. Finely scaled at 1:12, this piece captures both the weight and sophistication of antique bronze-mounted stonework, making it a standout focal point in any miniature setting.
Please Note: This vase is one of a pair, the other is sold separately.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
