Framed Print of The St. George's Challenge Vase, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The St. George's Challenge Vase, 1862. The subject which has been chosen [by Mr. Ortner] is naturally confined to the legendary history of St. George's encounter with the dragon, which at that time was frequenting a certain marsh in the province of Lybia, and had put to flight all who attacked it...The figure upon the top of the vase represents St. George triumphant, resting upon his shield after his victory, with his sword across his shoulder, and the head of the dragon lying prostrate at his feet...The vase is supported on each side by dragons, represented in their most savage form, with outspread wings...The vase is of pure silver...The coats of mail upon the figures of St. George are in gold, as well as the helmet, horse's bridle, scabbard, lance, and other details, the tout ensemble of which produces a charming and novel effect. The crosses upon the breasts of both figures, as well as upon the shield, are in red enamel, and give an additional character to the whole. The block upon which the vase stands is a beautiful specimen of serpentine marble, upon which is placed a raised inscription in pierced silver lettering. This great prize, the value of which is 250 guineas, will be shot for at Wimbledon in July'. From Illustrated London News, 1862.
