Massive George III Warwick Vase in sterling silver, London, England, 19th Century.

Made in 1818 by Solomon Royes & John, East Dix, London. May be one of the earliest and largest examples in sterling silver. The original Warwick Vase, from which this vase was cast in 1818, was found in pieces in Rome at Hadrian's Villa.

The original Warwick vase was an ancient Roman marble vase with Bacchic ornament. Two large handles formed of interwoven vine branches, spreading around the upper margin as tendrils, leaves, and clustering grapes, with classical Bacchinal masks and emblems, including a pine cone tip staff known as a thyrsus. The heads around the Warwick vase represent satyrs, surmounting the head and body of a panther. One of the satyr heads is said to be a representation of Lady Hamilton with a fawn's ear.

Sterling silver Warwick vase has an urn shape, and stands on a square pedestal foot.

This sterling silver Warwick vase weighs 425 troy ounces, or 13,220 grams of pure sterling silver. This is well over 29 pounds.
