About the Item

Royal Worcester Exhibition Vase with Dolphin Handle, Mask Heads Cherubs – 1884 An exceptional Royal Worcester porcelain exhibition vase, dated 1884, retailed by the distinguished firm A.B. Daniell Son of Wigmore Street, London. This rare and sculptural piece exemplifies the height of late 19th-century English porcelain design. The vase features a dramatic fixed handle formed as entwined dolphins, a motif drawn from classical antiquity. On either side, applied mask heads—likely representing river gods—emerge from beneath sweeping acanthus leaves. The body is adorned with two oval bas-relief medallions depicting playful cherubs, surrounded by finely modeled gilt scrollwork and laurel motifs. Executed in ivory-toned porcelain with crisp moulding, the vase is richly embellished with hand-applied gilding and delicate red enamel accents. The piece stands on a fluted circular foot, also highlighted in gold. Marks: Underside with green printed Royal Worcester mark and date code for 1884. Retailer’s red printed mark for A.B. Daniell Son, 46 Wigmore Street, London—renowned purveyors of fine ceramics and exhibitors at major international fairs of the period. Dimensions: Height: 10.5 in (26.5 cm) Width: 7.5 in (19 cm) Depth: 4.25 in (11 cm) Condition: In very good antique condition. No chips, cracks, or restorations. Gilding clean with some light rubbing consistent with age and handling. A striking and beautifully preserved example of Royal Worcester’s exhibition work.
