Blue and White Worcester Porcelain Vases England Aesthetic Period Circa 1870

About the Item

This pair of Royal Worcester Aesthetic Movement 'Japonism' vases dates to circa 1870. They are square and intricately decorated in blue with cranes beneath towering bamboo. The blue decoration has a raised surface, adding to the visual interest of the scenes. The sides feature blue lion dog masks and ring handles. The underside of each vase shows the Royal Worcester impressed mark of the period. In both Western and Eastern societies, cranes have long been celebrated as a symbol of life and joy. Greek and Roman myths often portrayed the dance of cranes as a celebration of life. Throughout Asia, the crane is a symbol of happiness and eternal youth. Dimensions:11.5" tall x 4" across the shoulders x 3" diameter of the mouth x 3.5" across the base Condition: Excellent Price: $3,200 Background of Aesthetic Movement: The aesthetic movement was a late nineteenth century movement that championed pure beauty and 'art for art's sake'.
