John Flaxman's Wine Vase: A Masterpiece of Neoclassical Ceramic Art This exquisite chromolithograph print, titled "John Flaxman's Wine Vase," is a stunning representation of a masterpiece from the decorative ceramic work produced by Josiah Wedgwood. The image showcases a magnificent wine vase adorned with intricate designs of grape foliage, grapevines, and a satyr grasping a rams head. The satyr, a mythological creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a goat, is a common motif in ancient Greek art and mythology, often associated with the god Dionysus, the god of wine, pleasure, and festivity. The inclusion of the satyr and the rams head on the vase adds an element of mythology and whimsy to the piece. The grape foliage and grapevines that decorate the vase are a nod to the ancient Greek practice of using ceramics to celebrate the bounty of the harvest. The intricate details of the grapes and leaves are rendered in beautiful, vibrant colors, making this vase a true work of art. This print is a reproduction of an original piece from the Old Wedgwood collection, which was published by Frederick Rathbone in 1898. Wedgwood, a renowned English potter, was known for his innovative ceramics, which ranged from stoneware and porcelain to artistic and decorative pieces. This wine vase, with its elegant design and intricate details, is a testament to Wedgwood's mastery of the ceramic arts. The chromolithograph process used to create this print allowed for the accurate reproduction of the intricate details of the original piece, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and collectors of ceramics and neoclassical art. This print is not only a beautiful addition to any home or office, but also a reminder of the rich history and artistic tradition of ceramics and neoclassical design.
