Antique Majolica Handled Vase – Attributed to George Jones – c.19th Century

£ 65.00

On offer is a stunning antique majolica handled vase, believed to be a 19th-century piece attributed to George Jones, one of the most respected names in Victorian majolica. This richly glazed and beautifully formed vase features a distinctive twin-handled design and a striking blend of green, blue, and ochre tones that cascade down the surface in typical majolica fashion.

The vase stands approximately 8 inches tall and displays the high aesthetic and technical quality associated with George Jones & Sons, a leading British pottery firm renowned for its artistic majolica wares produced from the 1860s through the late 19th century.

While this piece is unmarked with a definitive backstamp, the base features an unglazed “thumbprint” area with an applied pattern number “67”, an impressed model number “10143”, and what appears to be a “GJ” mark, all strong indicators consistent with documented George Jones majolica output.

According to historical sources, including the excellent research available at EtruscanMajolica.blogspot.com, it is widely acknowledged that less than half of Jones’ majolica pieces were formally marked. Instead, collectors and scholars rely on stylistic elements, glaze techniques, and pattern numbering—all of which are present in this vase—to identify their work.
