Jasperware has been made the same painstaking way since Josiah Wedgwood perfected it in the 1770s, and this piece shows why the process has never been worth rushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in England in 1979, the vase carries Aurora, goddess of the dawn, steering her chariot across the clouds, flanked by Cupid Asleep and Cupid as Oracle within framing foliate scrolls, while a delicate leaf garland encircles the neck. Because every relief element was moulded separately and applied by hand, no two pieces are ever quite identical. It would be a considered addition to a mantel, bookshelf or vanity, and a lovely piece for a collector of English ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard jasperware is known for white relief on a coloured ground, most often cobalt blue. This example reverses the palette with pale blue relief on a putty-toned body, a colourway that is less frequently encountered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wedgwood, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jasperware, Aurora chariot cameo, reverse palette (pale blue relief on putty body)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1979, impressed year-stamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 cm high; 6 cm base diameter; 4.3 cm rim diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jasperware (unglazed stoneware)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Impressed WEDGWOOD, MADE IN ENGLAND, 79, PM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition, with no chips, cracks or crazing and no notable scuffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe photographs form part of the condition report — please review all images carefully before purchasing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDust with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
