Stunning Rare & Very Unusual Large Castle Hedingham Vase
STUNNING RARE & VERY UNUSUAL LARGE CASTLE HEDINGHAM VASE. THIS IS A SUPERB, AND I SHOULD THINK VERY RARE, LARGE AND ECCENTRIC VASE (ALTHOUGH IT DOESN’T LOOK IT, IT IS) MADE BY THE ROYAL ESSEX ART POTTERY CASTLE HEDINGHAM FACTORY AND DATES FROM THE VERY LATE 19th. TO VERY EARLY 20th. IN TIN GLAZE WITH POLYCHROME LEAD OVER-GLAZE IT IS DEPICTED IN VERY UNUSUAL FORMAT WITH A PILE OF HIGH RELIEF RUINS TO THE BASE AND AN OCTAGONAL COLUMN RISING FROM ITS CENTRE EXTENDED BY ANOTHER FLUTED TUBULAR BLUE ONE WITH FLORAL SWAGS AND A ROUNDED RIM. IT IS MARKED TO ONE OF THE FRAGMENTS’HW’ (WHICH I SUSPECT IS THE ARTIST’S INITIALS, HOWEVER I’VE YET TO FIND HIM). WHILE THE BASE HAS’ANCIENT STONE PILE HOWER (sic) VASE ROYAL ESSEX ART POTTERY CASTLE HEDINGHAM’ – SEE PHOTOGRAPHS AND DETAILS. THIS IS ONE OF THE STRANGEST, ECCENTRIC PIECES OF EARLY ART POTTERY I’VE COME ACROSS. IT MEASURES 10″ (25.5cm) H x 7 1/2″ (19cm) W ACROSS THE BASE APPROX; AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR THIS TYPE OF POTTERY WITH NO DEFECT AT ALL TO REPORT APART FROM A SMALL CHIP TO ONE OF THE YELLOW SWAG FLOWERS – AGAIN SEE PHOTOGRAPHS AND DETAILS.
