IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 71698 accession number: C.1267.1 & A-1928 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Monday 18 December 2023 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: The neck aperture and cover of C.1267.2 & A-1928 is slightly wider than those of its pair. object type: Matching pair of covered ornamental vases on pedestals. Each is made in four parts (including cover), and fixed with an internal metal bolt onto a small raised foot and a square pedestal. The vases are urn shaped, with concave shoulder and a pronounced neck-rim, formed to support a small domed cover. The cover has a central spherical knob. The foot rises to a short, thin column at the urn’s base. The exterior is covered in blue jasper, except for two white ledges above and below the pedestal panels and three thin lines encircling the vase. The blue of the covers is slightly paler than that on the urns and pedestals, although the knobs are a similar colour. The pedestal base is decorated with round palmettes, four to each side; the centre panels each have a figure personifying one of the four seasons, surrounded by a square border of segmented circles. The vase has four small classical figure designs, each enclosed by a medallion frame and stylised, scrolling foliage; there are further foliate designs on the base and shoulder, and radiating around the cover. The interior is white. The underside is recessed, with a central aperture for the bolt. object type: White jasper ware, coated in blue with neoclassical sprig decoration in white. title: vase LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: J.
