Maker: Ridgway  Pattern: India Vase

By John & William Ridgway of Hanley active 1814 to 1830. The Ridgway brothers had a liking for pattern names that began India, rather than Indian. Their India Vase is an unusual, slightly surrealistic design, with a large urn type vase with flowers and two large exotic birds, all set against a background of flowing river and falls, with extensive ruin and hills beyond. It is printed in a vibrant blue with the clever use of dark and light tones to give a great sense of perspective.
Blue printed leaf cartouche, containing the words India Vase and Opaque China.
A few signs of age and use, with a small area of fine crazing to the glaze, but this is in extraordinarily good condition. Shines like new. Magnificant in size and appearance.

Dimensions: 54.5 x 42.5 cm / 21.5 x 16.75 ins
