Description
Campana Vase Blue John and black marble, probably from Ashford. The flared rim extends down a moulded body with double fillets. It ends in a circular foot resting on a square plinth. English work from the George III period, early 19th century. Height: 27 cm. Total height: 34 cm. Minor chipping. Related works: - Christie’s, ‘Apter-Fredericks: 75 Years of Important English Furniture’ sale, 19 April 2021, lot 1, for a vase dated to the first half of the 19th century, comparable to the work of John Bullock; - Sotheby’s, “Stone II” sale, 2–11 December 2020, lot 23, for a vase dated around 1820. Found exclusively in the “Blue John” and “Treak Cliff” quarries at Castleton in Derbyshire, this material has influenced the production of decorative arts across the Channel. Although known since Roman times, it was rediscovered in 1743, before being mined around the 1760s. Neoclassical artists embraced it, particularly for the creation of vases known as ‘Campana’, named after the eponymous Italian collector, Giampietro Campana.
