On offer is a stunning pair of potpourri vases with covers, made by one of the great English (and probably Staffordshire) factories in about 1830. The vases are in excellent condition with some light restoration and have stunning gilding and hand painted landscapes. Potpourri vases were meant to hold a mix of scented dried flowers and leaves to freshen the air in the often stuffy Georgian or Victorian homes in a time before vacuum cleaners. The lids therefore are perforated to let the scent out. These vases are very much like the vases made by Spode, Rockingham or Minton, however after doing much research we have not been able to establish who made them - leading us to think that it might be Samuel Alcock, who made fabulous ornamental wares in the style of aforementioned factories. As there is hardly any documentation about the Alcock factory it is hard to identify their wares. Whichever factory made these, they are of the highest quality and with the boldness that any of these great factories were known for. They are stunningly decorated in deep underglaze cobalt blue and a rich gilt pattern. On the front they have eserves with brilliantly painted landscapes on the front. The items are unmarked. CONDITION REPORT The vases are in very good condition with some minor flaws and some light crazing throughout. One vase has a round crack in the inside bottom of the body body around the screw, a few tiny chips off landscape painting, and a rim chip was professionally restored. The other vase has a tiny hairline in the square foot, a repaired crack down the body that can be felt from the outside but hardly seen, some gilt touch up on the rim and one handle has been broken and invisibly restored. One cover has had the finial broken off, which has been glued invisibly with a screw inside to strengthen it. None of these flaws distract from the beauty of the vases and all are hardly visible with the naked eye from the outside. Antique British porcelain...
