A Mid 20th Century Lead Warwick Urn

A mid 20th Century Lead Warwick Urn.

Circa 1925 - 1950.

The original Warwick Urn now resides at the Burrel Colection in Glasgow. The vase dates to the second century CE and was found submerged at the bottom of a lake at Hadriens Villa. The artists Piranesi made a number of drawings of the vase and it was purchased by George Greville, second earl of Warwick. Since then there have been many copies of this vase made over the past centuries in many different sizes and materials.
