Antique KTK Lotus Ware Tuscan Vase W/Filigree Ribbing & Handprinted Design
Item History & Price
A Stunning, Rare Antique KTK Lotus Ware Tuscan Vase w/Filigree Ribbing & Handprinted Design. This is a wonderful example of KTK intricate design detail and craftsmanship. This tuscan vase stands 8" tall with a 5" diameter top opening. It is a cylindrical style vase with filigree ribbing around the bottom in a gorgeous aqua color with gold beading around each of the aqua filigrees. The top features a beaded rim with a beaded star design in the center mid-vase... and has a trim-footed base. There is a lovely pale pink coloring above the aqua filigree with a dainty trellis of pink roses trailing around the top. Just lovely!
There are no chips on this piece. There are several spider veins on the bottom as shown in the last 2 photos....but only two are slightly visible from the inside of the vase....so they are mostly superficial. There is some slight loss of gold on the 3 footings....but given its age (late 1890s), it is in remarkable condition!
A very similar vase in similar coloration detail is featured on page 64 of the Knowles, Taylor & Knowles "American Bone China" by Timothy J. Kearns.
