This vase has pâte-sur-pâte decoration, and enamel decoration heightened with gold.
Pâte-sur-pâte (French: "paste on paste") is a method of porcelain decoration in which a relief design is created on an unfired, unglazed body by applying successive layers of white slip (liquid clay) with a brush. The technique was first employed by the Chinese in the 18th century. It was introduced in Europe in about 1850 at Sèvres.
