Stanley (Paul Stanley), with high domed cover above a baluster body with Etruscan-style mask head, handles over pedestal with plinth foot, in original presentation box of issue. 34 cm (overall height of urn)
Paul Stanley; Is regarded as one of Royal Worcester's most experienced and celebrated artists of the late 20th century and is considered a master of the still life genre, However, very few of his excellent game bird painted works were produced reflected by the very limited edition of ten of which the above vase is number six.These items formed part of the collection of the late Peter John Mitchell of the West Midlands.
Peter found an interest/ fascination later in life in the collecting of any manner of items and was a regular and well-loved attendee at the local auction houses in and around the West Midlands and sometimes further afield. He had a good eye for detail and an appreciation of quality, coupled with a discernment for the finer things in life, namely fine writing equipment mostly by the prestigious manufacturer Mont Blanc and extending in a very large way to his passion for Royal Crown Derby especially his beloved “Old Imari” pattern 1128 and of course Waterford crystal. As can be seen from the breadth of items in his porcelain collection he enjoyed his chosen fields and was an active buyer, and I am sure he would have approved of the items we curated for his estate in his absence.
