Wedgwood Jasperware Black Antique Vase Late Pre 1839 10 1/2 High

  
Wedgwood Jasperware Black Antique Vase Pre 1839 10 1/2 High. Vase is 10 1/2 High. This is an antique Wedgwood Jasperware Black Vase 10 1/2 high. This is a very rare and beautiful antique from my husband's Grandmother's estate in Melrose, Mass. It's near the man standing. I see some slight discoloring here and there. There are two teenie white spots - one on the cherub and the other on the leaf above the cherub. It is marked Wedgwood on the very edge. I checked with the Museum of Wedgwood in England.

Their expert is estimating that this piece was done in the late 1800's. The man's private parts were covered up after 1839. Also the man in the portal holding the ladies hand is better than most as the portal has been blacked in, as should be, but the main thing that makes it very older is the base figure.

On the Antiques Road Show last year an expert told the owner that if the base figure reaches the edge of the vase base, then it is an early copy, and yours does this. I have two black ones, like yours full size and one of them has the same as yours, so don't short change yourself -- it's a beauty!

The ones made today are very poorly potted and the handles are to thick and the figures are like icing sugar and they charge five thousand for them! I worked at Wedgwood as a jasper caster years ago and was told that its the only bisque ware that holds water without glaze as the molecules are bound tighter together whereas earthenware bisque seeps through, Josiah himself wrote to his partner Thomas Bently that it could be polished like gemstones on a lap. Good Jasperware is made in Barlaston. If You Like What You've Seen, Add My Store To Your Favorites and Subscibe To My Newsletter. Shows cherub with teenie white spots.
