A rare Royal Lancastrian sable antelope vase by Richard Joyce, with impressed and incised marks to base. Height 21 cm, diameter +/- 17 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The vase is in generally very good order with no evidence of any repairs or restoration. There are some scratches to the glaze on the top rim. Whilst the vase does not appear to have any restoration it is very dirty to the interior. The interior is finely crazed all over and there is a visible hairline crack running just around the bottom edge of the vase and up into the main body. This is visible on both the exterior and interior. There is no movement. The exterior glaze is in generally very good order and the colours are bright.
