Antique 18thc
Wedgwood and Bentley Etruria Polished Black Basalt Vase/ Urn c1770
Fabulous
Wedgwood and Bentley polished black basalt urn standing 12 inches high on a
square base 3.25 inches x 3.25inches.
The urn/vase is
decorated with winged putti and garlands of leaves.
The applied
reliefs are very deep and very crisply modelled.
The basalt
quality is fabulous.
Sadly, this wonderful vase /urn is not in good
condition:
There are chips
to the square base.
Damages, losses
and repairs to the top.
It has at some
point been converted to a lamp and only the screw remains.
Although not
clear to see but could well be missing the original handles.
In spite of the
obvious damage, it remains a superb item of fantastic quality.
The photos are
part of the description so please assess very carefully.
It has the
Wedgwood & Bentley Etruria mark on the base.
A wonderful,
marked Wedgwood and Bentley urn/ vase it still displays very well and would
make a useful reference item to any collection.
I will ship
worldwide but please be aware it is a large heavy item so shipping will be
expensive.
