About the Item
An antique Blue John Campana vase, dating to circa 1820. Made from striking Blue John, this handsome urn displays banded veining in a classic campana form.
It features gadrooned detail above a socle base with a striking flared urn above, complimented by a square black Ashford marble base.
Blue John
Blue John, also known as Derbyshire fluorspar, is thought to have come from the French ‘bleu et jaune’, meaning ‘blue and yellow’, and famed for its stunning purple, blue, and yellow colouring, like this one.
The mineral is thought to only have been found amongst the rocks of Treak Cliff Hill, in Castleton, Derbyshire. The majority of Blue John mines are no longer open, with only Treak Cliff Cavern and Blue John Cavern still running.
The mineral is highly valued for its ornamental variety of calcium fluoride due to its unique crystal structure and striking veining.
This urn displays vibrant dark blue and purple markings with subtle yellow veining.
