Royal Worcester Pot-pourri Vase, Signed Frank Harper, 1919

1900 - 1920
Description

A large Royal Worcester pot-pourri vase, hand painted with roses by Frank Harper and dated 1919.

The melon-shaped body is decorated with richly coloured pink and crimson roses, enlivened by green foliage against a soft graduated ground. It is surmounted by a pierced domed cover, with raised pearl-like moulding to the cover and foot and elegant gilded detail.

The painting is signed by Frank Harper. The base bears the Royal Worcester mark, shape number 1312 and date code for 1919.

A highly decorative example of Worcester porcelain, both a fine collector’s piece and an attractive interior accent.

Dimensions: Height 21 cm; maximum diameter approx. 15 cm.

Condition: Excellent overall. The inner cover is missing; the pierced outer cover is present. This is a common loss on antique examples and does not affect the appearance of the piece.

FAQs

A Royal Worcester pot-pourri vase is a decorative porcelain vessel fitted with a pierced or reticulated lid, designed to allow fragrance from dried floral mixtures to diffuse while serving as an ornate interior ornament.

These pieces were crafted from fine bone china or soft-paste porcelain, featuring hand-painted enamel botanical artwork, moulded reliefs, and applied liquid gold gilding that was fired and burnished to a soft metallic lustre.

Authentic 1919 Royal Worcester porcelain features a standard printed factory mark on the underside, accompanied by a system of dots or date codes, along with artist signatures near the hand-painted floral decoration.

Display the vessel as a singular accent piece on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble console table, or open bookshelf to provide visual contrast against modern painted walls and minimalist furniture.

Dust gently with a clean, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster; avoid using abrasive chemicals, harsh detergents, or immersing the piece in water, as moisture can damage gilding and unfired marks.
