Description

This exceptionally rare Doulton Burslem vase, dating to 1891, showcases exquisite craftsmanship in fine porcelain. The vase features an elegant globular body, a scalloped pedestal base, and a flared ruffled rim, creating a striking silhouette.

The hand-painted floral motif highlights delicate chrysanthemums, meticulously rendered with applied gilded enamel. This relief decoration, where additional elements such as enamel dots are raised from a flat surface, creates a stunning three-dimensional effect. The artist's remarkable skill is evident in the precision and care taken to depict each petal, leaf, and stem.

The combination of colors and gilded accents is highly uncharacteristic for Doulton, making this a rare and unique piece. This vase is a true testament to Doulton Burslem's artistry, blending natural beauty with refined detailing into a collector's masterpiece.

The factory marks on the base date this piece to 1891. The crown symbol, introduced in 1886, signifies Doulton's appointment as potters to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.

Produced by the Doulton Burslem factory in Stoke-on-Trent, England, which began operation in 1877, this vase reflects the factory’s reputation for creating high-quality ceramics and fine art pottery during the late 19th century. Known for combining artistic excellence with technical innovation, the Burslem factory became synonymous with beautifully decorated pieces that appealed to collectors and art enthusiasts alike.

The vase is in excellent condition with absolutely no damage to the colors, and most importantly, the gilding is intact everywhere.

Authenticity is verified through makers marks stamped or painted on the base, specific pattern numbers, artist initials, and the characteristic quality of the hand-applied gilding and brushwork.

Position the vessel as a focal point on a mantelpiece or sideboard to introduce a touch of historic craftsmanship and refined colour to minimalist or traditional spaces.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid immersion in water, harsh chemical cleaners, or abrasive materials to protect the delicate hand-painted details and gold leaf.

These pieces were crafted from fine white porcelain or earthenware bodies, hand-painted with mineral pigments under or overglaze, and finished with rich gold leaf accents.

Doulton Burslem pottery, produced in late Victorian England, is renowned for its high-grade porcelain, delicate hand-painted motifs, and intricate raised gilding techniques.
