WEDGWOOD: Excellent full size copy of the Portland Vase in Solid black jasper, ornamented by Thomas Lovatt, one of Wedgwood's best decorators. The vase is a copy of a Roman cameo glass vase from c100ad, and many theories have been put forth about the meaning of the design. Wedgwood's own opinion was that they represented the Eleusinian Mysteries, a Death and Resurrection cult of the classical era. There is much to be said for this interpretation. We also have a mirrored stand available for this vase for $950. C1880. |
