W. L. Glaisher Applied Arts White jasper ware, coated in blue with neoclassical sprig decoration in white. 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. The neck aperture and cover of C.1267.2 & A-1928 is slightly wider than those of its pair.

He continues: ‘in general I do not care for jasper ware […] but I was struck by these vases, and made them an exception […] they so much impressed me by their colour and delicacy’. Jasper, an unglazed fine stoneware with an impervious surface sheen, was introduced by Wedgwood in the mid 1770s. Other factories soon produced their own versions. Jasper was made in white or solid colour, often blue, and later by dipping in coloured slip. The coloured body was often decorated with sprigs - designs formed in small plaster, clay or brass moulds – applied when the clay was leather hard. The Four Seasons sprigs for these vases may have been modelled by William Adams himself (see Furniss). William Adams (1746-1805) ran a pot works in Tunstall from 1779 until his death in 1805; the business then continued under his son Benjamin until 1821. They produced a wide range of products, but particularly stoneware and jasper ware jugs, mugs featuring neo-classical, hunting or contemporary scenes. In jasper they made ornamental vases, candlesticks, cameos and medallions, as well as tea sets and more unusual shapes. Vases, typically with classical or heraldic decorations, were made in a wide variet of sizes (up to at least 17 ins, 430 cm) and were sold separately from the pedestal, which typically cost an extra 2/6d (two shillings and sixpence). reference term-106779 adlib-term-106779 f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a 18th Century, Late reference term-106498 adlib-term-106498 272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d6 19th Century, Early reference term-110045 adlib-term-110045 8c30fae3-59fc-33dd-9f97-ccc44e63ae46 literal England England country Tunstall reference media-35413 adlib-media-35413 5f3b8721-3f33-3482-9ace-88e14dfb03b5 jpeg aa/aa9/C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926418481 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/mid_C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926418481 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926418481 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/preview_C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926418481 1 image 0 media image reference media-35414 adlib-media-35414 8440c17b-be8e-30b8-9a30-5510e243ffa8 jpeg aa/aa9/C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926424913 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/mid_C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926424913 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926424913 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/preview_C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926424913 1 image 1 media image reference media-35415 adlib-media-35415 ff157714-5b61-32b2-8a33-1991bc773ad0 jpeg aa/aa9/C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926438454 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/mid_C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926438454 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926438454 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/preview_C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926438454 1 image 2 media image reference media-35416 adlib-media-35416 e0be7693-e25e-3172-8510-fe6a2420cdae jpeg aa/aa9/C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926609867 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/mid_C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926609867 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926609867 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/preview_C_1267_1_20_26_20A_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926609867 1 image 3 media image reference term-89480 adlib-term-89480 f1ea518e-351c-3f42-b2a7-db0f8559fa2c vase object name reference term-107478 adlib-term-107478 81002e74-5083-37b8-a429-4a303fc40695 cover object name reference term-107483 adlib-term-107483 42cd0dfd-3d96-36f1-910d-7d1da88f245d jasper ware category covered vase 1 reference object-76245 adlib-object-76245 6f2b9ba4-62f7-3b2d-ac13-4c86c4562541 1 reference 1 term-89400 adlib-term-89400 194f8c99-93e1-30de-9465-9209222dafaa jug jug reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ.
