Despite employing Islamic design motifs it has a distinctly English appearance. It is also evidence of the continuing influence of the print trade on ceramic design, depicting the scene of 'Feramoz introduced as a poet' on one side and 'Zelica and Mokanna' on the other. These scenes are taken from illustrations by Hablot Knight Browne [pseudonym 'Phiz'] and G. H. Thomas to 'The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan', one of four tales, in the Routledge 1868 edition of Thomas Moore's poem <i>Lalla-Rookh</i>. Lalla-Rookh, although first published in 1817, remained popular throughout the nineteenth century as a Romantic portrayal of 'the orient'. In 1874, the date of this vase's production, the subject matter and design would have appealed to the growing taste for interiors decorated in the 'oriental' style.","physicalDescription":"The flattened pear-shaped body rests on an oval base and rises to a narrow, slightly flaring cylindrical neck with a pierced rim. Round the neck is a protruding, circular pierced rim and on the shoulders are two handles. The scenes of 'Feramoz introduced as a poet' and 'Zelica and Mokanna' are represented in applied painted and gilt decoration and surrounded by an ornate border or red, blue and gilt. The remainder of the decoration consists of painted pink flowers with gilt centres and green leaves.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Worcester porcelain factory","id":"A9260"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"porcelain","id":"AAT10662"}],"techniques":[{"text":"gilding","id":"AAT53789"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Porcelain with painted and gilt decoration","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2008BT2402","2009CT3891","2008BT2401","2008BT2389"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"145 (VA)","id":"THES49865"},"free":"","case":"14","shelf":"2","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Vase","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Worcester","id":"x33938"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1874","earliest":"1874-01-01","latest":"1874-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"41","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Worcester trademark with '74'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"transfer printed"},{"content":"Worcester trademark","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"impressed"}],"objectHistory":"Formerly Handley-Read collection","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Porcelain vase depicting scenes of 'Feramoz introduced as a poet' and 'Zelica and Mokanna', Worcester, 1874.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Vanke, Francesca, 'The Islamic East and Englishness in Nineteenth Century Ceramics' pp. 533-58 in <u>English Ceramic Circle Transactions</u>vol. 19, part 2, 2007. p.546."},{"reference":{"text":"Jervis, Simon, <i>Victorian and Edwardian decorative art: the Handley-Read collection</i>, London, Royal Academy of Arts, 1972","id":"AUTH351463"},"details":"","free":""}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":["lalla rookh"],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["C.63-1972"],"accessionNumberNum":"63","accessionNumberPrefix":"C","accessionYear":1972,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-09","recordCreationDate":"2008-11-24","availableToBook":false}}
