About the Item

Royal Worcester Exhibition Vase with Dolphin Handle, Mask Heads & Cherubs – 1884 An exceptional Royal Worcester porcelain exhibition vase, dated 1884, retailed by the distinguished firm A.B. Daniell & Son of Wigmore Street, London. This rare and sculptural piece exemplifies the height of late 19th-century English porcelain design. The vase features a dramatic fixed handle formed as entwined dolphins, a motif drawn from classical antiquity. On either side, applied mask heads—likely representing river gods—emerge from beneath sweeping acanthus leaves. The body is adorned with two oval bas-relief medallions depicting playful cherubs, surrounded by finely modeled gilt scrollwork and laurel motifs. Executed in ivory-toned porcelain with crisp moulding, the vase is richly embellished with hand-applied gilding and delicate red enamel accents. The piece stands on a fluted circular foot, also highlighted in gold. Marks: Underside with green printed Royal Worcester mark and date code for 1884. Retailer’s red printed mark for A.B. Daniell & Son, 46 Wigmore Street, London—renowned purveyors of fine ceramics and exhibitors at major international fairs of the period. Dimensions: Height: 10.5 in (26.5 cm) Width: 7.5 in (19 cm) Depth: 4.25 in (11 cm) Condition: In very good antique condition. No chips, cracks, or restorations. Gilding clean with some light rubbing consistent with age and handling. A striking and beautifully preserved example of Royal Worcester’s exhibition work.
