Carved Italian Antique Alabaster Centrepiece Vase

About the Item

An exquisitely carved Italian antique alabaster centrepiece vase or urn circa 1860. The detail of this beautiful urn offers a glimpse into the styles of 19th century Italy, the body finely carved with masks and foliage to either side between entwined handles reminiscent of the famous Warwick Vase. It stands on an equally as decorative socle base carved with leaves and an egg and dart trim. With its smooth and somewhat translucent appearance, this antique alabaster vase is a beautiful display piece for a pedestal or sideboard.

  • Large Glazed Greek Terracotta Vase
    Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
    An impressive large Greek style vase, intricately crafted in terracotta and applied with a vibrant treacle glaze. Shaped like a trophy, this mid 19th century urn shares similarities with the marble vase attributed to prominent 2nd century Greek sculptor Sosibios in terms of shape and style, detailed with unique handles shaped like a swans neck. Unlike the Sosibios vase, the heart of this terracotta vase is largely plain showcasing the beautiful tone variation and lustre of the glaze. To the top, the vase is more intricate, detailed with a section of leaves and berries and stands on a socle carved with leaves to match the lower portion of the vase’s body. Thanks to its large scale and beautiful colour, this Greek style terracotta vase makes a striking statement piece placed on a pedestal or at the centre of a large sideboard...
