Georgian Pair of Mason's Ironstone Vases with Gold Gilded Pattern, circa 1818

About the Item

These are a rare pair of ironstone vase with high loop handles, made by the Mason's factory, England in the early 19th century, circa 1815 to 1820. These footed vases are potted in a rare shape with two elaborately moulded side handles, giving a very decorative profile. An identically shaped vase is illustrated in Gaye Blake Roberts book; Mason's The First Two Hundred Years, Page 77. The vases are decorated with a gold gilded pattern against a mazarine blue ground with gold side handles, this pattern being illustrated on various pieces in the above book pages 98 and 99. The vases are unmarked, as many pieces are, but they are definitely by Mason's and similar vases appear in Geoffrey Godden's definitive work on Masons China and the Ironstone Wares, pages 210. These fine, rare, early Mason's pieces date to 1815 to 1820.

  • Very Rare Mason's Ironstone Bottle Vase in Chinese Dragon Pattern, circa 1820
    By Mason's Ironstone
    Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
    This is a very rare ironstone vase, in the Chinese style, all hand painted in the coloured dragon pattern, made by the Mason's factory in the early 19th century. Both the vase shape and the pattern are very rare. The vase has a bottle shape with a fairly tall neck, having two dolphin head handles, with attached loops. (NOTES ON SHAPE This vase style is a copy of a much earlier Chinese bronze vase shape produced in the Ming, Hongwu period of 1368 - 1398, which had similar decorative animal head side handles with loops. ( See the book Chinese Ceramics by He Li, page 216, published by Thames & Hudson. ). Also On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 204; The square handles and rings illustrate the metal origins of the shape of the vase. Similar examples have been excavated in Chinese tombs dating to the fifteenth and sixteenth century, suggesting that the shape was particularly popular at that time.) This vase is beautifully hand decorated in a more complex variant of the Coloured Chinese Dragon pattern, with strong coloured enamels depicting a green dragon on one side and a pink dragon...
