Lot Details
probably modeled by George Owen for the George Grainger owned Royal China Works in the late 1880s, predating the take-over by the Worcester factory. Photographs apparently exist in the Dyson Perrins Museum (Worcester) of the vase in the 1890s and the assumption is the vase was kept after the takeover in 1889. A photograph reproduced in Royal Worcester Porcelain 1862 to the present day, Henry Sandon, 1973, shows the vase in an upper floor window of Grainger’s shop-front at Foregate, Worcester. Some professional repair. H.800mm. Provenance: Purchased Art & Object November 2007.
