The International Exhibition: Group of porcelain articles by Sir James Duke and Nephews, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: Group of porcelain articles by Sir James Duke and Nephews, 1862. Ceramics in antique style which have...as a centrepiece a large vase of an Etruscan character, wrought in black and light red. The form of this vase is unquestionably beautiful, and the treatment very true to the style...a large vase-shaped wine-cooler, with tinted figures, the treatment being again classic. In this the flesh of the females is white, and of the males red, the ground being black...the Minerva jug, a vessel shaped as the head of the Goddess of Wisdom, and wrought in terra-cotta. A small wine-cooler and a ewer...the former being a work in Samian enamels, and the latter in tinted enamels, on a blue du Roi ground. The ground of the wine cooler is dead black; the figures are in full colours...the handles are gold, and various lines of colour are employed to give richness to the work. The ewer has a gold handle, a broad gold edge to the spout...and the figures in a light red tint. These, as well as the entire collection of exhibited works by Sir J. Duke and Nephews, are worthy of the highest commendation in view of the beauty of their forms, the purity of their ornamentation, and the excellency of the manufacture'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

This photograph showcases a stunning collection of porcelain articles created by Sir James Duke and Nephews, exhibited at The International Exhibition in 1862. The grouping includes a diverse array of ceramics, each showcasing exquisite antique styles and intricate designs. At the center of the display, a large vase of Etruscan character takes pride of place. Its form is both unquestionably beautiful and true to the style, with black and light red hues adding depth and dimension. The large vase-shaped wine-cooler, with its tinted figures, boasts a classic treatment. The females are depicted in white, while the males are in red, against a black ground. Another standout piece is the Minerva jug, shaped as the head of the Goddess of Wisdom, and crafted in terra-cotta. A small wine-cooler and a ewer are also featured, with the former showcasing Samian enamels and the latter boasting tinted enamels on a blue du Roi ground. The wine cooler's ground is dead black, while the figures are in full colors, with gold handles and lines of color adding richness to the work.

Duke and Nephews, as depicted in this photograph, is truly deserving of the highest commendation.
