Royal Worcester Vase

Took a chance on this vase while I bought a vintage brass table lamp just lifted it up on my way out the door and wondered were there any Worcester people about that could fill me in with an artist or point me in the direction I can find out.Again and I dont mind saying any help always appreciated on these boards.

 

It looks like it was stenciled with a gold outline and quickly hand painted by a worker and with no signature there would be no recognisable artist. It strikes me as being quite poorly painted (if it is actually painted) for an 1888 Worcester vase and I'm wondering if it's a fake. Could be wrong. Best to wait for the experts.

I think it started life as a biscuit jar, like this: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-royal-worcester-biscuit-jar-140469709

 

That makes sense. There seems to have been a ring around the bottom as the pattern cuts off in the last photo.

 

Having handled the vase agin and had a closer look I honestly dont think this is a biscuit barrel and dont think it had a lid.At the top where the biscuit barrel has gilding there is no trace on mine just a gilded line around the rim.The flowers go over the bottom of my vase slightly where there is heavy gold gilding on the biscuit barrel and no trace og gilding on mine.Im away to investigate the marks on the bottom as theres a lot of them and see what I find I know roughly the year.Again thank you all for reading and replying its an education thank you.

 

I have noticed the biscuit barrel in this shape with a lid has a different pattern number 1401 to the vase that I have which makes me think its produced without a lid as a vase.

 

I think it had a lid. Worcester biscuit barrel has a lid with a flange that sits inside the barrel rim. The rim is gilded in mine. It also has an underplate which yours may have had, too. It is not fake, but genuine. Won’t be able to ID the artist as this is a rather generic decoration for Worcester. It is sometimes called blush or blush ivory ware.

 

Hi yes all the pieces of this shape had a lid Ive seen a few now that I know what it is thank you for that.

 

I'd not call it blush ivory: that has a much more creamy verging on peach colouring to it.

 

You’re probably right. This is glossy and not matte which most blush ivory wares were. It’s in the age range of blush ivory wares.
