    "description": "The designs on these three urns are decorated with scenes showing Apollo, nymphs, and cupid. They were made at the factory of William Adams, a contemporary, friend and follower of Josiah Wedgwood. Adams was associated with Wedgwood when he opened his famous factory at Etruria in 1769. He experimented with pottery and fitted up a private laboratory at his house at Tunstall, where he continued his research in the chemistry of pottery to the end of his life. Adams was responsible for a great quantity of excellent jasper ware, in some of which the ground colors differ perceptibly from that made at the Wedgwood factories.This vase is one of a group of three. It is a pair with 48.859, while 48.860 is slightly larger.",
