A fine pair of Coalport "Coalbrookdale" vases standing on gilt hatched square plinths, decorated under the gilded rims with gilt C-scrolls, the necks girdled with moulded and gilded bands and the sinuous handles modelled as overlapping leaves enhanced with gilding. The rich rose dubarry grounds painted to one side with panels of muticoloured fruit and flowers by William Cook and to the other with Alpine landscapes, almost certainly by Daniel Lucas Jr. and all within delicate ornate raised and tooled gilt frames. One vase marked underneath with the gilt CBD (Coalbrookdale) mark.
