Gorgeous antique ewer-style vase made by Royal Crown Derby for the fine jewelry/ department store, JE Caldwell & Co. The red backstamp on the base dates this piece to around 1905. There are also some incised and handwritten letters and numbers on the base, including possibly faded artist initials. The piece is entirely hand painted, with lilies and other flowers in shades of pink, blue, lavender and green, on a glossy ivory ground. The neck and foot are painted bright pink with gilt details, including scallop shell motifs. The rope handle is gold as well. The vase measures 7″ tall, 1″ in diameter across the opening, and 2 in diameter across the foot, with a bulbous center. It’s in outstanding condition with no chips or cracks and no visible wear to the decoration. Its only slight flaw is some light crazing near the bottom (last photo) but it is very hard to see. This is a stunning antique vase!
