ROCOCO SILVER VASE ✨🏛️

What a theatrical piece! This Portuguese silver vase is a small monument to movement and light. The body, worked in repoussé and chasing, explodes with shell scrolls, volutes and acanthus leaves that dance over a stippled ground — that fine grain that gives depth and makes the silver glow like antique silk. The pierced lip, with a “crown” of pearls and rocaille, opens with elegance, while the gadrooned base holds everything with the poise of a grand salon. You can feel the hand of a fine master here, heir to the Portuguese rocaille tradition, turning metal into motion.

I adore the warm patina time has gifted it: I don’t hide it—I celebrate it. It’s that skin of the past that makes the vase even more romantic, sculptural, and sensorial. On a coffee table, console, or sideboard—solo or with pale flowers—it commands the room as a centerpiece and conversation spark, whispering memories of Lisbon salons and family evenings.

Available at Batalha Collection, in Faro. Come see it in person and let yourself be carried away by the charm of antique silver. 🤍🌿🕯️
