  • Notes

    According to Joan Jones, the original design, dating from around 1862, is recorded in the Minton Archive as ‘1037 VASE RAMSHEAD HANDLES, FOLIAGE AND TRAGIC MASKS (M) EMBOSSED’.

    A contemporary photographic record, kindly supplied by Earl Martin, is found in a Minton Shape Book, also part of the Minton Archive; it shows this model (with its lid, missing on the present example).  The photograph (see left) records ‘No 1037 / Vase / H 20 in’.

    For a version in majolica, see Victoria Cecil, Minton ‘Majolica’: An Historical Survey and Exhibition Catalogue, [Jeremy Cooper], 1982, p. 78, no. 116.  Another example, also in majolica, was sold Sotheby’s (London), 24 May 2006, lot 82.
