Cupid Replica

Name: Cupid Replica
 
Type: Blue Jasperware Cupid Vase (Possible Replica)
 
Year: Likely mid-to-late 20th century
 
Set: No
 
Mark: None - Unmarked – likely a Wedgwood-style replica
 
History: This is an unmarked pale blue jasperware-style vase with applied white relief decoration featuring a winged cupid figure and a kneeling woman with a musical instrument, possibly a lyre. The two elaborate side handles and the stylized decorative band along the base are consistent with neoclassical design language made popular by Wedgwood in the 18th century. However, the absence of a Wedgwood stamp, along with certain casting inconsistencies, suggests that this is a later 20th-century reproduction in the Wedgwood style, rather than a genuine antique.
 
 
Although finely styled, the vase’s value is reduced due to its replica nature and lack of provenance. It still holds decorative appeal, especially for collectors of classical revival ceramics or as an interior accent.
 
Flaws: Some gentle wear and tear
