Royal Worcester Porcelain Vase, Hand-painted Chrysanthemums, Pierced Gilt Handles, 1890

19th century
Description

A rare and exceptionally large Royal Worcester porcelain vase, crafted in 1890 during the height of the Victorian era. This striking baluster-form vase stands at an impressive 41 cm, making it considerably larger than most examples of its type. The generous proportions, hand-painted decoration, and finely modelled details reflect the highest standards of Royal Worcester production during the Aesthetic Movement.

The body is decorated in vibrant multicoloured enamels with a chrysanthemum motif on an ivory ground, a palette and composition inspired by the Japonisme trend that defined much of the late 19th-century decorative arts. The soft background is further enriched with raised gilding and delicate white enamel jewelling to the neck and handles.

The sculptural pierced handles are finished in rich gold and show losses from age-related wear, but still retain their visual impact. The dramatic shape and finely applied gilt elements are characteristic of Royal Worcester's technical excellence, combining sculptural form with painterly finesse.

The underside is marked with the puce Royal Worcester crown and circle mark and carries the date letter “a” for 1890, along with the British diamond registration mark for November 28, 1883, and the impressed model number 942. These confirm its authenticity and status as a registered design.

A standout display piece for collectors of English Aesthetic porcelain, Royal Worcester vases, or late Victorian decorative arts. Ideal for mantel, cabinet, or centrepiece display in a refined period interior.

This Victorian porcelain vase dates from 1890 and follows the English Aesthetic style. The baluster-form body is finished in a cream ground and decorated with hand-painted chrysanthemums in pink, orange, purple, and blue enamels, alongside raised gilding and delicate white enamel jewelling on the neck and handles. Architectural gilt handles are pierced at the top, rising from the wide shoulders to frame the elongated neck, and sit above a pedestal foot ring finished in rich gold. The underside bears the puce Royal Worcester crown and circle mark, the date letter for 1890, the British diamond registration mark, and the impressed model number 942. Minor rubbing appears on the gilding of the handles and rim, while the painted surface remains pristine. The piece measures 41 cm high, 18.5 cm wide, and 18.5 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this decorative vase serves as a prominent mantelpiece display or a centrepiece on a surface within a refined period interior. It provides a striking focal point for collectors of English Aesthetic porcelain, late Victorian decorative arts, and Royal Worcester items. The combination of sculptural form and painterly decoration suits placement on a mantel, in a cabinet, or on a table in an English Country House setting.

FAQs

Late Victorian Royal Worcester porcelain is renowned for its soft satin finish, often referred to as blush ivory, combined with intricate hand-painted botanical studies and rich gilt highlights inspired by Japanese and Renaissance design traditions.

These decorative vessels were crafted from fine bone china or soft-paste porcelain, finished with translucent glazes, overglaze enamel paints, and liquid burnished gold for gilded accents.

Authentic pieces feature the printed Royal Worcester factory stamp on the underside, often accompanied by a system of dots or letters indicating the exact year of manufacture, along with fine, raised gilding and artist markings.

Victorian porcelain vases make effective focal points when placed on a minimalist sideboard, mantelpiece, or styled within an eclectic gallery shelf arrangement alongside modern art.

Dust gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth; avoid immersing the piece in water or applying abrasive chemical cleansers, which can wear away delicate overglaze gilding and enamels.
