Minton's 'Majolica and Palissy Ware' was a great success at the Great Exhibitions of the mid-19th century. This vase is a superb example of Minton's large-scale majolica in Renaissance revival style. The yellow colourway is particularly rare and recalls the vibrancy of the Italian maiolica that acted as inspiration to Art Director Léon Arnoux and the potters at Minton. An example in darker tones of blue and green is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no.C.63-2019).
