Fine Reticulated Bud Vase, Grainger Worcester, C 1880

19th century
Description

A charming blush ivory porcelain reticulated bud vase made at the Grainger factory in Worcester in the 1880s.

Commercially produced reticulated porcelain was an art at which Grainger exceled.

At the Great Exhibition in 1851 Grainger displayed pierced porcelain and by the last quarter of the century craftsmen of the factory perfected the technology and were able to produce intricate pieces of finest quality. No other factory consistently produced such fine pierced wares, some of which are simply breathtaking.

This bud vase is one of such immaculately elegant and stylish pieces, delicate as fine lace and light as a feather.

To add to the collector’s joy, it’s been well looked after and remains in perfect condition.

Dimensions: 12 cm high, 7 cm diameter.

Condition: excellent.

FAQs

Reticulated Worcester porcelain refers to fine ceramic vessels crafted with intricate pierced or honeycomb patterns cut directly into the un-fired clay body. Developed during the 19th century by factories such as Grainger & Co, this technique required precise hand-craftsmanship to maintain structural integrity during kiln firing.

These vessels were typically produced from soft-paste or bone china formulations capable of holding precise carved details. Craftsmen used small hand tools to pierce geometric or scroll motifs into the leather-hard clay prior to firing, after which gilding and tinted glazes, such as blush ivory, were applied.

Authentic pieces usually bear printed or impressed factory marks on the underside, such as the Grainger Worcester shield or royal crests. Additionally, original items display crisp hand-pierced reticulation with subtle variations in line, along with period-accurate gilding and soft-toned glazes.

A reticulated vase can be displayed on a dark wood sideboard, a marble mantelpiece, or within a minimalist glass cabinet. Positioned against a neutral or contrasting backdrop, the openwork pattern creates complex shadow details when illuminated by ambient light.

Due to the fragile nature of pierced porcelain, dust should be removed regularly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or air bulb. Avoid immersing reticulated items in water or using liquid detergents, as moisture can become trapped in small crevices or degrade delicate gilding.
