WEDGWOOD BLACK JASPERWARE SACRIFICIAL RITE VASE

$260.00
SOLD OUT

This beautiful vase features Wedgwood’s famous white relief classical decoration on black basalt ground. The decorative frieze depicts an Arcadian sacrificial rite from antiquity.

Jasperware is a material invented by Josiah Wedgwood in 1775 following years of experimentation, the resulting matte porcelain resembles natural jasper stone. This iconic vase is made using black basalt ground with an applied decoration in white jasperware. Unlike many unglazed ceramics that give a matte effect, Jasperware porcelain is nonporous and suitable for water.

Dimensions: H7⅜ x Dia5½ inches
