Pair of Royal Worcester vases, made England 1899. <br>
Measure 5 3/4 inches high.
Classic urn shaped vases with masks on either side and sweeping C-scroll handles. Base colours are cream and light green offset with pink, with gilding around the rims and borders. Raised and fluted patterning also has gold highlights. Very fine handpainted floral scenes on the fronts of each vase and lesser spriggs of flowers on the backs. The painting is highlighted with enamel. Great detail. On either side of each vase is a mask head supporting the scroll handle. A ring of moulded flowers seperates base from body of vase. <br><br>
Each vase has a number of marks underneath: the Royal Worcester factory mark used after 1891, with 4 dots on either side, indicating a date of 1899 (one in green, one puce). Other marks include the registration mark, a number 19, an iron red mark believed to identify the artist.<br><br>
