EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Victorian silver replica of the famous Portland Vase, created in 1844 by the English School. Standing at an impressive height of 25.5 cm, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection. The craftsmanship on display is truly remarkable. The vase takes the form of an amphora and is adorned with intricate repoussé and chased decorations depicting classical gods and goddesses alongside their symbolic attributes. The textured ground adds depth to the design, while the satyr mask terminals on each handle bring a touch of whimsy. A closer look reveals a man wearing a Phrygian cap on the base, adding another layer of symbolism to this already richly decorated masterpiece. Marked on its neck with John Samuel Hunt's signature from London in 1844, this replica pays homage to ancient Greek artistry while showcasing Victorian elegance. The photograph captures every ornate detail beautifully, highlighting both the grandeur and delicacy of this silver treasure. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of classical mythology and decorative arts during the Victorian era. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this stunning piece through eChristies Images for all art enthusiasts to admire.
