The factory produced a vast range of decorative porcelain - figures, vases, jugs and ornamental ware - in the prevailing Rococo Revival taste, with elaborate flower-encrusted and hand-painted decoration of high quality. Alcock used a distinctive system of four-digit red painted pattern numbers (e.g. 5093, 4628 etc.) on the bases of decorative pieces; pieces are otherwise generally unmarked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach vase stands \u003cstrong\u003e24cm in height\u003c\/strong\u003e, of baluster form with applied scrolling handles and finely hand-painted floral reserves against a coloured ground with gilt embellishment throughout. Both vases have professional restorations to the neck rim - a common condition issue with vases of this type and honestly disclosed below. Display condition is very good and the pair present strongly as a matched pair. Please review all photographs carefully for the precise location of the restorations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn attractive pair from one of the most accomplished Staffordshire factories of the Victorian period, priced to reflect the restoration.
