Wedgwood Blue Jasperware Portland Vase Miniature 13cm 19th Century

Indulge in the timeless elegance of this exquisite 19th century Wedgwood blue Jasperware Portland Vase miniature, a refined example of England’s finest neoclassical porcelain artistry. At approximately 13cm in height, this coveted piece captures all the grace and grandeur of the iconic Portland Vase in a compact, display-friendly form, making it a superb addition to any serious Wedgwood, Jasperware, or fine pottery collection.

This luxurious vase is crafted in Wedgwood’s classic matte blue Jasperware, celebrated worldwide for its silky, unglazed finish and distinctive depth of colour. The surface is adorned with crisp white bas-relief decoration in the neoclassical style, depicting elegant figures and mythological scenes that have long been associated with the legendary Portland Vase design. The contrast between the rich blue body and the finely modelled white reliefs creates a striking visual impact, instantly recognisable as pure Wedgwood.

Dating from the 19th century, this miniature Portland Vase reflects the high standards of craftsmanship that made Wedgwood a byword for taste and quality among European nobility and discerning collectors. The proportions are beautifully balanced, with a gently rounded body, twin handles, and a flared rim that echo the form of the original Roman glass masterpiece that inspired Josiah Wedgwood’s most famous creation. This smaller version retains the same sense of classical harmony, making it a piece of decorative art as well as a collectible object.

Measuring approximately 13cm in height, this Jasperware vase is ideal for display on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, curio cabinet, or desk. Its compact scale allows it to stand alone as a focal point or to sit comfortably among a curated arrangement of other fine porcelain and pottery. Whether placed in a traditional interior or used as a sophisticated accent in a modern setting, it adds an air of cultured refinement and quiet luxury.

While this piece may be used decoratively with a small, carefully chosen sprig or dried flowers, it is most often enjoyed purely as a work of art. Collectors of Wedgwood Jasperware will appreciate the clarity of the relief work, the evenness of the blue ground, and the overall harmony of the design. For those new to Wedgwood, this vase offers a wonderful introduction to the brand’s heritage and its enduring influence on British and European ceramic design.

This 19th century Wedgwood Portland Vase miniature is offered in great condition throughout, with no distracting damage to diminish its display appeal. The relief decoration remains crisp and attractive, and the classic blue colour retains its depth and character. As with all antique and vintage ceramics, minor signs of age and handling should be expected, but this example presents beautifully and is ready to grace its next collection.
