Description

THE SIZE AND/OR WEIGHT OF THIS ITEM WHEN PACKED EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY INTERNATIONAL POST AND MUST BE SENT USING A COURIER SERVICE IF POSTED TO AN ADDRESS OUTSIDE OF THE UK. IF YOU WISH TO BUY THIS ITEM AND ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE UK THEN PLEASE CONTACT US FOR A POSTAGE QUOTATION BEFORE DOING SO.

This is a tall pair of Etruscan enamelled vases attributed to Harrach and dating from the middle of the 19th century, c1850. Similar vases are shown in “From Neuwelt to the Whole World: 300 Years of Harrach Glass” by Helena Bro Kova.

The vases are in excellent condition for their age. This means of course that they show age related wear and tear to the rims of the feet consistent with some 170 years of use.

The vases have baluster-shaped bodies measuring 7.8 cm (3.1 inches) in diameter at the pouring rims which feature rubbed gilded bands to the external surface. The vases are in white "frosted" glass decorated at the necks with a classic design in terracotta and black. The bodies are enamelled with mythical figures (probably deities) and scrollwork. The vases end in feet that measure 8.2 cm (3.3 inches) in diameter. They are 11 cm (4.4 inches) in diameter at their widest point. The vases are 30 cm (12 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any other obvious evidence of restoration. There are collector's stickers to the feet.

A nice pair of large vases, each weighing in at 600 g. (~ 1 lb. 5 oz.).

FAQs

The Etruscan Revival style draws direct inspiration from ancient Greek and Etruscan pottery, typically featuring red-figure and black-figure motifs on terracotta or neutral backgrounds, popularized during the mid-to-late 19th century due to archaeological discoveries.

These pieces are typically crafted from blown opaque glass or ceramic, hand-painted with mineral enamels to replicate the matte finish and iron-oxide tones of ancient Mediterranean pottery.

Authentic items display period-correct hand-painted enamel details, typical wear patterns on the base, appropriate weight, and manufacturing characteristics consistent with 19th-century European glasshouses and potteries.

These decorative objects work effectively as focal points on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table, contrasting well against clean architectural lines or complementing traditional classical design themes.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical cleaners, water, or abrasive materials, which can permanently damage the delicate historical enamel decoration.
