Large J. Hoare Baluster Vase in Rookwood – SOLD |
This is such a striking and impressive shape. Cut in J. Hoare’s Rookwood, this vase is signed on the base.
The vase is really a perfect balance between motifs. The richly cut stair neck and rim radiate light in every direction. The Rookwood pattern’s defining motif is the diamond field with a clear, deep split. Topping that field is a large hobstar which is seperated from the rest of the pattern by a cane field and crosshatching. The base of this piece is particularly impressive with a large 32-point hobstar and a serrated edge.
The vase is in perfect condition with no chips or staining. It is quite large and measures 12 1/4″ high and 5 3/4″ wide.
