ABOUT PRODUCTID 6043
This ceramic mantel vase from Staffordshire, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, exemplifies the decorative tradition of Victorian England. The sculptural form depicts Robin Hood and Little John in traditional, stylized attire, with bold outlines and simplified, robust shapes. The primary color is a warm, creamy ivory with a glossy glazed finish, enriched by hand-painted details in shades of pink, green, black, and terracotta. The vase opening is accented with a soft pink glaze, while additional floral motifs in green and pink adorn the tree trunk forming the neck. The surface is smooth and subtly undulating, typical for hand-molded ceramics of the period, and the broad base ensures stability. The vase measures 37.5 cm in height, 22 cm in width, and 10 cm in depth. Overall, it remains in good condition: minor chips at the base, fine glaze crazing, and age-related wear are visible, all of which contribute to its authentic historical character. This piece tells a story of English domestic life at the turn of the century, where folklore and legend mingled with everyday rituals. The solid yet naive figures of Robin Hood and Little John, rendered in the distinctive Victorian Staffordshire manner, evoke hearthside tales of courage and camaraderie. The gentle ivory tones and pastel accents soften the myth, transforming it into a symbol of household peace
