About the Item

English Staffordshire Pearlware Neoclassical Faux Marble Obelisks on Pedestal Bases, Wood Family, Circa 1790-1800 The pair of Neoclassical pearlware pottery obelisks are of outstanding quality.  They are tall in height-double the usual size I have previously owned.  They are four-sided with the top columns tapering and are painted in a gray marble color.  The pedestal base has a central section painted in an ochre and black color with the base in a green and black marble color.  The top of the supporting base with a projecting lip is in a brown and white. Dimensions: 14 1/4 inches high x 3 1/4 inches x 3 1/4 inches (36.83cm high x 8.26cm square base) Condition: the extremely rare obelisks are in overall very good condition. One has a repaired chip to the column on the back side and a small flake invisibly touched up. A small hairline runs through the hollow base of one. (Ref: NY10376-kamr)
