{"product_id":"vintage-victoria-ware-ironstone-trumpet-vases-pair","title":"Vintage \"Victoria Ware\" Ironstone Trumpet Vases — Matching Pair, Blue Transferware","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe best vintage interiors are rarely built from matching sets bought all at once. They gather atmosphere over time — a little pattern, a little history, and objects with enough presence to hold their own. This matching pair of trumpet vases brings that layered feeling to a mantel, sideboard or dining table, with its softly tinted ground and richly detailed blue transferware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in heavy vitreous ironstone, each vase is decorated with an architectural scene of town buildings, statuary, figures on horseback and landscape details in deep cobalt blue. The flared trumpet form gives them a strong, symmetrical silhouette — perfect for framing an entrance, anchoring a console, or creating a considered centrepiece with branches or dried flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bases carry an ornate cobalt-blue \u003cem\u003eVictoria Ware Ironstone\u003c\/em\u003e backstamp, styled with a crown, lion and unicorn. This mark should be understood as a later decorative reproduction mark rather than evidence of an antique Staffordshire manufacturer. The pair dates to the late 20th century, approximately the 1980s–1990s, and is offered honestly as attractive vintage decorator ware with a distinctly old-world visual language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMark:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eVictoria Ware Ironstone\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matching pair of trumpet vases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1980s–1990s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23.5cm each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop opening:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.5cm x 14cm oval flared rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy vitreous ironstone earthenware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale ice-blue\/putty ground with deep cobalt-blue transferware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 883g and 930g respectively; combined pair weight 1.813kg before packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition.
