Pair of Antique Jasperware Vases by Adams Pottery, circa 1780
Located in London, GB
Pair of antique jasperware vases by Adams Pottery, circa 1780 English, c. 1780 Height 27cm, diameter 10cm This remarkable pair of neoclassical blue jasperware vases stands as a testament to the sublime artistry and finesse of William Adams, an eminent member of the illustrious Adams pottery family of the 18th century. The vases showcase an exceptional three-dimensional frieze in crisp white relief, vividly portraying scenes from classical mythology. Central to these intricate designs are Apollo, the Greek god of sun and music, and Cupid, the divine symbol of love and attraction. The high-relief technique lends the figures a sense of dynamic realism, setting them vividly against the blue jasperware, and are excellent examples of neoclassical decorations. Complementing the classical friezes are formal borders that encircle the shoulders of each vase. These meticulously crafted embellishments contrast brilliantly with the blue Jasper, accentuating their own elaborate detailing. Adding to the grandeur of these pieces are the tall plinth bases, which are graced by classical figures emblematic of the four seasons, also in white relief. These figures not only augment the classical look of the vases but also represent the perennial cycle of life and the passage of time. The bases also feature classical friezes to the sides and bottom. Each vase proudly bears the unmistakable 'ADAMS' impression, signifying their provenance and certifying their authenticity. This signature mark is a cherished attribution to their creator, William Adams, and his significant contribution to the heritage of pottery. William Adams, a favoured pupil of the legendary Josiah Wedgwood, established his own pottery in 1789 and became renowned for his work with Queensware, painted china glaze ware, transfer ware, basalt, and jasperware until his death in 1805. The Adams family...
