Warwick Vase Small 20th century
About the Item
The **Warwick Vase** is a grand and intricately detailed ancient Roman marble vase, renowned for its size, craftsmanship, and historical significance. Originally discovered in fragments at Hadrian’s Villa near Tivoli in the late 18th century, the vase was restored and acquired by Charles Greville, the 2nd Earl of Warwick, hence its name.
The vase features a massive, wide, and deep bowl, supported by a short pedestal base, making it ideal for use as a decorative garden or estate ornament. Its most distinctive elements are the highly detailed carvings and embellishments, including a pair of large handles shaped like intertwined vine stems or tendrils, often terminating in the heads of satyrs or other mythological figures. The body of the vase is adorned with intricate bas-relief sculptures of Bacchic scenes, featuring figures of satyrs, fauns, and Bacchantes in celebration, symbolizing the god Bacchus (Dionysus), the Roman god of wine and revelry.
The Warwick Vase is made of white marble and is celebrated for its imposing size, measuring over 5 feet in diameter, and its neoclassical beauty. The vase has inspired numerous replicas in materials such as bronze and porcelain, and its design has been widely admired and reproduced in art, architecture, and interior design since its discovery. The original now resides in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland, while replicas and versions can be found in major museums and estates worldwide. The vase symbolizes both Roman luxury and the 18th-century neoclassical revival.
