You are very welcome to view this item at our shop : Vintage At The Palace, Garden St, Lytham St Annes, FY8 2AA. Please let us know in advance if you wish to view. Call/text 01253 205140 or 07815 724125. This is very old and dates at least 19th century. Signed to the bottom, with a further smaller mark to one side. The jar measures approximately 12 inches in height, and has an opening diameter of roughly 4.25 inches. It has a circumference of approximately 34 inches, measured at the most bulbous part of the jar. Please note, there is no lid. It really is a fabulous thing. The size is great, the colours vibrant and the subject matter charming and full of character. The artwork on the jar has been sectioned into four panels- two with plenty of people and a horse with rider, in a traditional looking courtyard scene. The other two with butterflies, a bird of paradise and flora and fauna for decoration. Points of condition to note: There are firing marks, bubbles and other marks related to the making of the jar. There are also cracks/hairlines to three of the four panels, which wrap around the jar, and in one panel extends from the base to the top. There is also a crack right across the centre of the base. A previous owner has lined part of the inside of the jar with some heavy duty tape, to keep it secure. All this aside, the jar feels very solid and its condition certainly doesn’t detract from its huge visual appeal. A lovely jar, beautifully decorated. Thank you for looking!
