19 1/4 (NINETEEN AND A QUARTER) INCHES IN HEIGHT. AND 9 INCHES (NINE) INCHES WIDE. THE OUTSTANDING PAINTING ENCIRCLING THE VASE SHOWS THE INCREDIBLE WORKMANSHIP ACHIEVED BY THE GREAT ALBERT GREGORY. MASTER-CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THIS QUALITY WAS ONLY EVER ACHIEVED BY THE ABSOLUTE BEST ARTISTS. AND VERY RARELY AS IS THE CASE HERE DID THE ARTIST SIGN BOTH SIDES OF THE VASE. THE IMMENSE GILDING AND COLOURING OF THE VASE IS TRULY A MASTERPIECE THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH WORK GONE INTO MAKING THIS INCREDIBLE VASE THE PAINTING OF ROSES AND SUMMER FLOWERS IS BREATHTAKING AND THE COST OF THE GOLD ITSELF MUST HAVE BEEN A FORTUNE AT THE TIME. THIS IS SOME OF THE FINEST WORK EVER PRODUCED THE MODELLING IS TO DIE FOR, I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE PIECES OF PORCELAIN I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE VASE IS DATECODED 1900 WITH THE MANUFACTURERS MARKS TO THE BASE. THE VASE IS ALSO SIGNED ON BOTH SIDES ” A, GREGORY”. CONDITION IS SUPERB WITH NO CHIPS, CRACKS OR RESTORATIONS, NO CRAZING, THE GILDING LOOKS AS FRESH AS THE DAY IT LEFT THE FACTORY WITH NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST WEAR, LIKE I SAID EARLIER THIS VASE IS TO DIE FOR. ALBERT GREGORY IS NOTED IN THE ROYAL CROWN DERBY BOOK AS BEING ONE OF THE MOST NATURAL FLOWER PAINTERS DERBY AS EVER EMPLOYED AND ALSO HOW MUCH SOUGHT AFTER HIS WORK IS.
