This exquisite object, dating back to approximately 1830, is a masterpiece of the Wolverhampton craftsmen, showcasing the finest japanning techniques, gilding, and painted floral decoration. 3. The Coal Vase, with its vertical, single design, measures around 3.4 inches in height and 2.5 inches in width, making it a perfect addition to any 19th-century home. The vase's body is made of lacquered tin plate, giving it a deep, rich black finish that beautifully contrasts with the gold accents on the lid and the cast iron claw feet. 4.
