Légende

The Tennyson Vase: "Morte d'Arthur" and "Guinevere", 1868. 'A very beautiful specimen...displayed on the stall of Messrs. C. F. Hancock, Son, and Co., in the late International Exhibition at Paris. It was designed and modelled by Mr. H. H. Armstead, expressly for that occasion. The ornamentation is Byzantine Gothic, of the twelfth century. The design is meant to refer to two of the Poet Laureate's finest conceptions; the "Morte d'Arthur," and "Guinevere." The subject of the first medallion is the conflict between King Arthur and Sir Modred...The second medallion shows the "dusky barge" dark as a funeral scarf from stem to stern'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
