1. Title: A Feast for the Senses: Chocolate, Ceramics, and Mythology in the Chromolithograph by W. Griggs 2. Description: This exquisite chromolithograph by W. Griggs, titled "Old Wedgwood," showcases a delightful assemblage of chocolate pot, vase, cup, and saucer, each adorned with captivating mythological scenes. The top of the image features a green chocolate pot graced with the Three Graces and playful dancing nymphs. The Three Graces, Aglaea, Euphrosyne, and Thalia, were the ancient Greek goddesses of beauty, grace, and charm. Their presence adds an alluring touch to the chocolate pot, inviting us to indulge in both the sensory pleasure of the chocolate and the aesthetic pleasure of the artwork. 3. Below the chocolate pot, a blue ewer or vase captivates our attention with its intricate depiction of Venus and Cupid. Venus, the Roman goddess of love, and her mischievous son, Cupid, are shown in a tender moment, emphasizing the romantic and passionate nature of love. 4. Two cups and saucers are also presented in the chromolithograph. The first is a white cup and saucer adorned with ivy leaves, symbolizing renewal and growth. The second is a green cup and saucer featuring Venus, a warrior, and nymphs. Venus, the goddess of love, is shown in a more warrior-like form, demonstrating her power and strength. The nymphs, who are often associated with nature and the outdoors, add a touch of whimsy and playfulness to the scene. 5. This stunning chromolithograph, published by Frederick Rathbone in 1898, offers a visual feast for the senses, combining the rich history of mythology with the artistry of ceramics and the allure of chocolate. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these mythological scenes to life, transporting us to a world of beauty, grace, and passion.
