A Very Rare Pair of George III Copper-Gilt Wine Coolers, Collars & Liners. Circa 1815.
Modelled as the Warwick vase with egg and dart border and on a square plinth, the sides cast with figures above a lion pelt, with twisted reeded handles, with detachable collars and liners.
The Warwick Vase is an ancient Roman marble (partially restored) vase with Bacchic ornament that was discovered at Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli about 1771 by Gavin Hamilton, a Scottish painter-antiquarian and art dealer, and is now in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland.
It was old to Sir William Hamilton, British envoy at the Court of Naples from whose well know collection it passed to his nephew, George Greville, 2nd Earl of Warwick, where it caused a sensation. The rich ornament and form combined to give the Warwick Vase great appeal to the 19th Century eye. Numerous examples in silver and bronze were made, and porcelain versions by Rockingham and Worcester, but rarely in copper-gilt.
