Pair of Wedgwood Cobalt Blue Jasperware Vases

This pair of decorative vases is crafted in the iconic Jasperware style, most famously produced by the English pottery company Wedgwood. The set consists of two distinct shapes featuring a deep cobalt blue (or 'royal blue') matte-finish stoneware body. The larger vase on the left features a tapered oviform body with two geometric, angular handles and is decorated with a large white bas-relief cameo of a neoclassical female figure, possibly a grape harvester or Bacchante, standing amidst foliage and grapevines. Above this figure is a large white floral rosette. The smaller vase on the right has a bulbous body on a pedestal foot with similar angular handles, decorated with a kneeling female figure tending to flowers. Both items exhibit the characteristic unglazed, vitrified stoneware texture known as 'biscuit' finish. The application of the white relief motifs, known as sprigging, appears crisp, though there may be minor firing specks or slight surface dirt commensurate with age. There are no visible chips or major fractures in the image, though the matte surface is prone to scuffing and fingerprints. While maker's marks are likely located on the underside of the base (standard for Wedgwood), the style and quality suggest a production date from the mid-20th century. The handles reflect a simplified neoclassical influence typical of later Jasperware iterations.
