The International Exhibition: Group of porcelain articles by Sir James Duke and Nephews, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: Group of porcelain articles by Sir James Duke and Nephews, 1862. Ceramics in antique style which have...as a centrepiece a large vase of an Etruscan character, wrought in black and light red. The form of this vase is unquestionably beautiful, and the treatment very true to the style...a large vase-shaped wine-cooler, with tinted figures, the treatment being again classic. In this the flesh of the females is white, and of the males red, the ground being black...the Minerva jug, a vessel shaped as the head of the Goddess of Wisdom, and wrought in terra-cotta. A small wine-cooler and a ewer...the former being a work in Samian enamels, and the latter in tinted enamels, on a blue du Roi ground. The ground of the wine cooler is dead black; the figures are in full colours...the handles are gold, and various lines of colour are employed to give richness to the work. The ewer has a gold handle, a broad gold edge to the spout...and the figures in a light red tint. These, as well as the entire collection of exhibited works by Sir J. Duke and Nephews, are worthy of the highest commendation in view of the beauty of their forms, the purity of their ornamentation, and the excellency of the manufacture'.
