Known as the Virgin of the Assumption, the Blessed Virgin Mary rests on a celestial globe, bruising the head of the serpent with her heel, symbolizing evil. Paris porcelain, mid-19th century. Typical work of the style of Jacob Petit, popular in the 1840s. Work from his unsigned workshop or from a follower Very good general condition, beautiful polychromy and dazzling gilding in matte and shiny with some wear. A little shine to the snake, discreet. NB: we have a pair of altar vases from the same period, sold separately which lend themselves to forming a beautiful set. Height 44cm
