Utilizing their "Powder Blue" process, Wedgwood has created a vase emulating a rare blue porphyry. Gilt decoration suggests the sort of gold mounts one would expect to find on such an exotic piece. Beneath the gilded lip, a shimmering band of solid gilt backs a trail of Persian inspired blue filigree studded with pink roses. Additional gilt filigree bands beneath this top border and around the slightly flaring foot leave ornate openings, revealing the mottled surface beneath -- just as one would expect of metal mounts on stone.
Reflecting a vein identified with 1920's design, the vase boasts an exotic richness within a clean restrained form.
