Description: Crafted in France circa 1880 in the neoclassical style, these beautiful antique urns have a truly elegant style. Each bronze vase stands on a circular base over a circular foot which is mounted on an onyx base (felt covered bottom to protect a table). The removable lid features a young Bacchus seated on vine and leaves holding a wine cup. Inside the urn is a removeable inset cup that is waterproof if you decide to use it for fresh flowers or a plant.The dual handles are decorated with grape and vine motifs in high relief. The vessels also feature gilt children harvesting grapes, and playing with a ram over a gadrooned body. Both decorative urns are in excellent conditionh. They would make an elegant statement on a mantle, book shelf, or an entry way table. Bacchus was the Roman god of agriculture, wine and fertility, equivalent to the Greek god Dionysus. Dionysius was said to be the last god to join the twelve Olympians. Supposedly, Hestia gave up her seat for him. His plants were vines and twirling ivy. Many Greek, Egyptians and Mesopotamian Gods wore horns to represent the Ram. The constellation of the ram is the beginning of all 12 constellations.Measures: 15.5" Height x 8.5" Max. width at handles with base 5" across.
