Oil on stretched canvas, ready to hang.

The main subject matter in this oil painting is the rare Wedgwood vintage ginger jar. It’s decorated with the Elves and Bell Branch pattern, depicting elves and goblins dancing on mushrooms with a spider’s web in the background against a midnight blue glaze.
The lid features a central fairy in the centre of a spider’s web with a gold gilded spider at one side, with small fairies and leaves randomly scattered around.
It’s signed on the underside with gold and black ink glaze. (Portland vase mark Wedgwood England).
In this painting, I’ve tried to capture the beautiful violet-blue hues that this Wedgwood ginger jar projects under a natural soft light source, supported by ginger flowers, leaves, with knobs of the ginger plant, and a kitchen cutting knife in the composition.
