The composition is bold and architectural, with the dark ground providing dramatic contrast to the pale central scene. Note: the print is offered unframed, giving flexibility to select a frame that best suits the intended interior. The attached image of the print in a frame is an impression only. The figurative panel dominates the body of the vase, framed by finely drawn gilt ornament that emphasizes the vessel’s verticality. Gold highlights accent the rim, foot, and decorative borders, lending depth and visual authority to the design. Compared to smaller or lighter pieces, this plate reads as a true statement image. The chromolithographic technique captures both the intensity of the blue ground and the subtle sheen of the gilding, conveying the prestige of the original porcelain design. The print was produced for worcester porcelain by r. L. Hobson, published in london by bernard quaritch in 1910. It was drawn by j. H. Thorpe and printed by w. Griggs & sons.
