Descrizione dettagliata lotto
This pair of 'antique' vases correspond to pattern no. 91 illustrated in Eleanor Coade's Etchings of Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory, published in the late 1770s and early 1780s.
A closely related pair of vases was supplied by Coade for niches flanking the door to St Mary's Chapel, Lulworth, built in 1786-7 by John Tasker (A. Kelly, Mrs Coade's Stone, Upton-upon-Severn, 1990, p. 196). St Mary's Chapel was the first free-standing Roman Catholic church built in Britain for public worship since the Reformation.
An almost identical pair of vases, but with modern upper sections, was sold by T. Crowther & Son, 282 North End Road, Christie's, 12-14 October 1992, lot 1422 (£11,000 including premium).
