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. object type: White jasper ware, coated in blue with neoclassical sprig decoration in white title: vase NOTES ----- type: history note value: Bought at Hendry and Hill, ‘The Fresiene House’ and ‘The Antiquary’ nos. 3 and 30 Hanover Buildings near the Bayate, Southampton, on 9 September 1918, for £30, By Dr Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge.
