Rare Mason's Ironstone Pot Pourri Vase Fence Japan, English Georgian circa 1817

About the Item

This is a rare shaped ironstone lidded vase, forming a Pot Pourri vase, in the gilded and hand painted Fence Japan pattern, made by the Mason's factory in the early 19th century, circa 1817. The vase has a good baluster profile, with two mask head handles either side. The lid has several pierced holes in the body with a small knob to the top. The vase is hand decorated in the 'Fence Japan' pattern. This is a superbly painted pattern with strong enamels of mazarine blue and burnt orange highlighted with richly hand-painted gilding. A Pot Pourri vase like this one is illustrated on page 199 of Geoffrey Godden's guide to Mason's ironstone published by The Antique Collectors' Club. The vase is marked to the base with the impressed " Patent Ironstone China" in a circle, which is a fully recorded Mason's Ironstone mark, dating this fine piece to the very earliest production of Mason's ironstone, circa 1817.

  • Very Rare Mason's Ironstone Bottle Vase in Chinese Dragon Pattern, circa 1820
    By Mason's Ironstone
    Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
    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...
