Антикварна ваза «Ворік» (Warwick Vase)

A decorative vase on a pedestal, made after the famous ancient Warwick Vase — a large Roman marble krater dating to the 2nd century AD, discovered in the 18th century during archaeological excavations near Rome. After its discovery, it became a popular model for decorative reproductions during the Grand Tour, the traditional cultural journey undertaken by European aristocracy to Italy. The body of the vase is decorated with a relief frieze of mascarons. On both sides are large handles formed as intertwined vines. The upper rim is adorned with an ornamental band. The bowl stands on a profiled pedestal with a circular base. The surface shows a natural patina.
