A grand terracotta style composition garden urn in the form of the Warwick Vase, after the antique popularised by 18th century collectors. This piece is large in size and a beautifully modelled copy of the Roman original, and can be displayed both outside and in.

English, mid 20th century.

Notes: The Warwick Vase was excavated from Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli in 1771 by Gavin Hamilton, and dates to the second century AD. Hamilton sold the vase to his nephew, the 2nd Earl of Warwick, who built a specially commissioned conservatory in the grounds of Warwick Castle to house it.
