Pair of Paris Porcelain Urns
One depicting the Surrender of General Burgoyne at Saratoga...the other, Oliver Hazard Perry transferring his colors from the damaged Lawrence to the Niagara during the Battle of Lake Erie...

These urns are decorated with scenes from American history. One urn seems to be loosely based upon Trumbull’s “Surrender of General Burgoyne at Saratoga”, depicting one officer (incongruously wearing a blue coat) surrendering his sword to another. The second urn depicts Oliver Hazard Perry transferring his colors from the damaged Lawrence to the Niagara during the Battle of Lake Erie. Oddly, the flag has been left blank in both scenes. On the reverse of each urn is a profile painting of a ship at sea.

Each urn stands approximately 13 ¼-inches and is richly gilded. The handles are in the form of swans; gilt shows some rubbing and one swan is sans a beak. Typically these urns were made in two parts-joined with a threaded rod and nut...time and constant movement frequently compromise the method of fastening . At some point in its history an owner applied a liberal dose of white glue to the interior “correcting” the problem. We mention this as due diligence; the remedy does not effect the quality or integrity in any way and fortunately such glue is water soluble and can therefore be removed.
