Standing at approximately 25cm, this iconic form combines sculptural beauty, historical significance, and the unmistakable quality that has made Wedgwood a benchmark of luxury porcelain and fine pottery for over two centuries.

This distinguished Portland Vase is crafted in Wedgwood’s celebrated Jasperware, renowned for its silky matte finish and crisp, raised relief decoration. The vase features classical scenes in beautifully modelled white relief, set against a contrasting ground, creating a striking visual depth that has captivated collectors and connoisseurs since the late 18th century.
