Mason's Ironstone Bottle Vase in Chinese Dragon Pattern very rare, circa 1820
About the Item
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 on the other side, with butterflies and flowers, all boldly painted against a gold gilt ground. There are borders to both rims, the lower base rim having a wave border in green enamel.
The vase is marked to the base with a mock Chinese seal mark hand painted in red, sometimes and more commonly seen on Miles Mason porcelain pieces .
This exact vase shape is illustrated on page 212 in the book: Mason's China and the Ironstone wares by Geoffrey Godden, published by the Antique Collectors' Club.
Overall a very beautiful and decorative, rare piece of Mason's Ironstone.
