Description

An attractive and unusual moon flask vase by Moore Brothers. This finely crafted piece features a deep olive green ground, beautifully contrasted with a white slip depiction of a playful putto in flowing drapery—an elegant nod to neoclassical whimsy.

The vase stands on four distinctive flaring feet with applied gilt and black stylised decoration throughout. Marked to the base for T. Goode & Co., London, one of the leading luxury retailers of the Victorian era.

Signed with the monogram "HS" for Henry Saunders, a known pupil of Louis Solon at Minton, who continued his career at Moore Brothers from 1877 until the early 1890s.

Dimensions: Height 6 3/8 inches (16.2 cm), Width 5 1/2 inches (14 cm), Depth 2 3/8 inches (6 cm)

Condition: No chips, cracks or restoration. Some gilt wear and expected age-related crazing.

A superb example of Victorian pâte-sur-pâte decoration and an excellent addition to any quality porcelain collection.

FAQs

Pate-sur-Pate is a French ceramic technique meaning paste-on-paste, where successive layers of liquid clay slip are built up on a dark body to create a low relief cameo effect before firing.

These pieces were typically crafted using fine bone china, parian ware, or earthenware bodies, finished with coloured glazes, enamel paints, and applied gold gilding.

Authenticity is verified by examining the paste consistency, hand-painted details, manufacturer factory marks on the base, and the characteristic raised texture of genuine slipwork.

Place the vessel on a plain surface such as a mantelpiece or side table where its colour and relief details can be appreciated without visual competition from surrounding decor.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using water, chemical cleaners, or abrasive materials that could damage the delicate gilding and glaze.
