EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning collection of ceramic pieces by the renowned firm, Messrs. Minton and Co., exhibited at the International Exhibition in 1862. The central object of the display is a pair of grand vases, each supported by a group of four Parian Cupids. The vases feature intricate gold ornamentation, with the upper and lower portions boasting a deep Sevres blue hue. The handles, crafted as spirally-coiled snakes, are also adorned with matte gold. The Renaissance figures on the vases symbolize Summer and Autumn, with Summer depicted holding a bundle of green corn and Autumn holding a wine-ewer. These figures are intricately crafted in Parian china. To the right, there is a smaller vase representing the Seasons, with a turquoise ground and gold-raised ornamentation. The vase to the left boasts a celadon ground, with grasses, wild flowers, and flies embossed or raised in gold. The central smaller vase is another pair, and the subject is the allegorical figure of Time Rescuing Truth from Envy and Jealousy. The exquisite tazza to the side is a standout piece, with conventionally-treated storks jutting out from the pedestal. Throughout the works by Messrs. Minton, there is a remarkable purity of treatment and a richness of painting that continues to captivate viewers.
