Doulton Burslem Porcelain Vase with Gilt Mask Handles
Porcelain vase manufactured by Doulton Burslem, England. This vase features a pale green ground with intricate raised gilt foliate and scrollwork motifs on both sides - one side presenting a symmetrical botanical ribbon design and the opposite side a detailed basket of flowers within an ornate framework. The flared rim is decorated with complementary gold embellishment. The vase is mounted on a cream-colored footed base with scalloped edges and gilt accents. Prominent double handles are applied to the lower sides of the vase, sculpted in the form of stylized classical male faces with open, gaping mouths, functioning as mask handles. These are also highlighted with gilt detailing. The base is stamped in green with the crowned Doulton Burslem backstamp.
