Wedgwood Black Jasperware Trumpet Vase with Neoclassical Relief

The trumpet vase form, with its narrow base opening to a wide flared mouth, creates a natural tension between restraint and openness, and in Wedgwood's black jasperware it achieves a particularly composed elegance that makes it one of the more satisfying forms in the range.

Made by Wedgwood of Stoke-on-Trent, this vase features a matte black jasperware ground in a flared trumpet form with raised white classical figure and foliage decoration applied to the body. The neoclassical relief, with its draped figures and foliate borders, is applied with the precision that characterises Wedgwood's production, and the contrast between the deep matte black ground and the crisp white relief is particularly effective on the curved surface of the trumpet form. Trumpet vases in black jasperware are a consistently popular form among Wedgwood collectors.
