Pair of English Sheffield Silver Plated Cobalt Blue Glass Urns by Barker-Ellis
Located in Shippensburg, PA
VERY FINE PAIR OF ENGLISH SILVERPLATED COBALT GLASS CHESTNUT URNS Marked for Barker-Ellis of Birmingham, England made circa 1912-1931 with maker's mark to underside [seven-branch menorah], signed "England" and impressed "8" along with silversmith's scratched notations Item # 312DPP11Z An exceedingly fine pair of chestnut or candy urns by the renowned silversmithing firm Barker-Ellis of Birmingham, England, the menorah marker's mark was reportedly used by Barker-Ellis starting in 1912 and continued to be in use by the firm through 1931 [see the Smithsonian Museum of American History, acc. no. 1988.0569.07 for a tray of the same marking and documented dates of use]. The present version of the menorah mark is an earlier version of the marking and probably places the pair of urns to circa 1920. The urns feature a carved pineapple finial with exquisitely chiseled and chased leaves over a coved lid, this lifting off to reveal a spacious interior with removable hand-blown cobalt glass...

A Monumental 18/19th C. French Ormolu Mounted Grey Marble Covered Urn w/ Handles
Located in New York, NY
A Monumental Late 1700's/Early 1800's French Ormolu Mounted Marble Covered Urn Presenting an extraordinary Monumental 18/19th Century French Ormolu Mounted Marble Covered Urn. Crafted with meticulous precision, this exquisite urn showcases a captivating blend of materials and intricate ornamentation. The urn features a splendid mid-toned grey uniformly patterned marble, skillfully carved into a rounded bulb. Both the lid and body of the urn gracefully mimic the contours of an egg, lending an harmonious and organic appeal to the overall design. Adorning the base of the body are carved ormolu ferns, beautifully encircling the bottom of the belly as it descends to a marble pedestal that is ringed at the bottom with an ormolu wreath resting atop a stunning cubic stepped deep-green marble plinth. Crowning the urn is a pineapple finial, exquisitely crafted from ormolu bronze. Encircling the base of this handle, one can admire a delicate ring of foliate ormolu bronze, adding a touch of sophistication to the composition. The handles on either side of the urn are a delightful departure from the conventional, boasting ribbed, angled, and bent-square ormolu designs. This unexpected detail adds a refreshing and distinctive element to the overall aesthetic. To further enhance its grandeur, the grey marble urn is adorned with ornate and delicate foliate ormolu bronze scrolls. These intricate scrolls gracefully meander along the belly of the urn, lending a sense of opulence and refinement to the piece. In terms of size, this Monumental 18/19th Century French Ormolu Mounted Marble Covered Urn commands attention with its substantial proportions. Standing tall and proud, its dimensions convey magnificence and presence, truly befitting its status as a significant antique artifact...

Antique and Vintage Urns for Sale

Decorative vases and antique and vintage urns are statement objects for the home that can date back centuries. Ranging from pieces with intricate, hand-painted details to more minimal forms with abstract shapes, decorative vases and urns come in a range of styles and sizes.

An urn is a type of vase that typically has a cover, a narrow neck and a round body, sometimes with a footed pedestal. However, when a vessel is called an urn, this often denotes its purpose rather than its origin or shape. One of the urn’s most crucial roles was and remains to be to hold the ashes of people for funerary rites. Another type of urn is adorned with figures that tell a story or show a scene.

Some of the earliest vases were formed from clay or metal-like bronze. Mesopotamians used them not only for decoration but also for storage. In ancient Greece, vases and urns frequently depicted stories from mythology, showing images of the gods and heroes. In ancient Egypt, vases such as the amphora had ceremonial purposes.

Over time, vases grew in popularity among artists as a different kind of canvas for expression. Unlike many of the ancient examples, these vases were not always functional but instead made for a striking addition to one’s decor. Even a plain, solid-colored vase can add color or style to a room. Metal urns are elegant additions to your living room or foyer rather than outside, unless you’re partial to the alluring weathered patina that is expected to characterize an antique cast-iron garden urn.

Every interior designer will tell you that decorative objects are what make a house a home. Decorative objects trumpet the homeowner’s personality while bringing a room to life. For designers, they present an opportunity to express their creative vision.

When looking for a decorative vase, it’s important to note the design and also the size and shape. Decorative vases vary from those with a wide base to those with long slender necks. Browse decorative vases and an extensive ceramic urn collection on 1stDibs.
