Gorgeous Victorian Royal Worcester Ornithological Triple Vase John Hopewell C.1875

19th century
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

A very pretty and unusual Royal Worcester triple vase, with two slender bottle vases connected with gilded loop handles to a bucket shaped vase to the front. Each is painted with an English garden bird amongst foliage, a goldfinch to the front and a male and female bullfinch on the two taller vases, most probably by John Hopewell. Gilded rims edged finely in black enamel, with vitruvian wave borders, also in gold and black, decorate the foot of the front vase and neck of the others. Printed mark to the base of the front vase and diamond registration mark to one other, c.1875-80

It measures 12.8cm (5") high, 8.5cm (3 3/8") wide and 9cm (8 1/2") front to back.

Condition is excellent: there is a very tiny section of professional restoration to the foot rim of the front vase, only visible under magnification. There is also a fine glaze line through the gold lug at the back. Minimal handling wear.

Declaration

The Fancy Fox has dated this Royal Worcester Triple Vase to the Victorian era.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Victorian triple vase is a decorative porcelain vessel composed of three interconnected receptacles designed to display cut flowers or spills, popularised during the late nineteenth century in Great Britain.

These items are crafted from fine porcelain, finished with hand-painted enamel decoration and detailed with applied liquid gold gilding.

Authentic pieces feature standard printed or impressed factory marks on the base, often accompanied by date codes alongside artist signatures or initials for hand-painted work.

Display the piece on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table against a neutral backdrop to highlight its intricate hand-painted bird motifs and gilded details.

Dust gently with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals, detergents, or water submersion that could damage the delicate gilding and surface enamels.
