Vintage Wedgwood Green Glaze Twin-Handled Urn Vase, Fluted Medici Form, England c. 1965

The twin-handled urn is one of the oldest shapes in the decorative arts, carried home from Italy by Grand Tour travelers and reproduced by English potters for two centuries. Wedgwood made this small version around 1965, giving the classical silhouette a flaring lip, a gadrooned lower body, scrolled handles at the shoulders, and a stepped circular foot. An olive green glaze pools in the modeling, its iron speckling and fine craquelure lending the piece the look of something much older than it is. The underside bears the stamped Wedgwood of Etruria and Barlaston mark and a Rubin collection provenance sticker. A sculptural accent for a bookshelf, mantel, or desk.
