A pair of salt glazed pottery models of the Warwick vase, each resting on classical square plinths. Perfect for display both indoors and out.

The Warwick vase was a Roman marble vase discovered by Gavin Hamilton at Hadrian's Villa in 1771, where he had sought and was given permission to excavate the marshes on the site, where it was discovered in need of restoration. It was sold to Sir William Hamilton, who passed it to his nephew Sir George Greville, 2nd Earl of Warwick, where it was placed in the gardens of Warwick castle. It now resides in the Burrell collection, Glasgow.

Very much taking their cue from the Pre-Raphaelite movement, the design for these windows harks back to the medieval period, in both the composition and the dress of the subjects. The twin scene depicts the seasons, spring and autumn, with a woman admiring the blossom on a tree, whilst the man gathers wheat with a scythe.

English, mid-19th century.
