About This Exceptional Set:
Elevate your collection or home decor with a stunning, authentic pair of 19th-century Victorian Wedgwood Jasperware tumblers. Crafted in the classic, saturated deep cobalt blue body, these matching beaker-style cups are a beautiful display pair.
While they match perfectly in size, rich color tone, and elegant structural form, each tumbler features its own distinct, beautifully detailed classical Greco-Roman narrative.
An Artisan's Thumbprint:
Proving their hand-crafted pedigree, one tumbler features a slight internal bump or dimple on the inside wall. This is a highly sought-after manufacturing artifact from 1880s production. It occurred when the Victorian artisan manually pressed the wet external white cameo reliefs onto the soft blue clay body before firing. It is a literal testament to the human hands that built this piece over 140 years ago.
Markings and Authentication:
Both bases are impressed with the early, clean serif WEDGWOOD factory stamp. Crucially, they completely lack the words "England" or "Made in England," securely dating their manufacture to before the McKinley Tariff Act of 1891. One tumbler cleanly displays the 1880s three-letter date code system (stamped with a clear Y and companion artisan tally marks), dating the pair to approximately 1886.
Condition and Flaw Details (Please Read Carefully):
These beakers have been priced accordingly to reflect structural hairline cracks found upon close, careful inspection:
* Visibility: To the naked eye at standard display distance, these features are incredibly difficult to detect. Most are micro-fissures that only become clearly apparent under a macro lens or intense close-up scrutiny.
* The Details: There are several fine hairline cracks running cleanly through the applied white relief elements, most notably across the stems and center points of the vertical floral border swags, and a small line running through the bottom border band of the sacrificial altar scene.
* Overall Integrity: There are no large chips, no missing chunks of relief, and no flea bites on the top rims. The blue stoneware bodies remain solid and beautiful for open display on a mantel or cabinet. The interior bases show light, natural dark mineral scaling from historical use, which can be gently wiped away if desired.
Dimensions:
* Height: 4 inches
* Rim Diameter: 3.25 inches
An extraordinary opportunity to own a perfectly paired, visually striking duo of authentic Victorian art history at a fraction of the cost of a flawless set. Professionally packed with double-boxing and maximum padding to guarantee a safe arrival to your doorstep.
