A PAIR OF RARE BELLEEK SECOND PERIOD 'COLLINS' VASES, (1891-1926) each of open rectangular form, the front with profile portrait of Michael Collins within a raised circular reserve, the sides with Celtic motifs in gilt and brown tones. 10.75cm high
The Michael Collins portrait vases are particularly rare and are known to exist in just two variations of similar design. One featuring a portrait profile of Collins to one side and Griffith to the opposing side.
This particular lot has been modelled to an unrecorded design and features Michael Collins alone. These examples are likely to be a special commission requested after the death of Collins in 1922.
Therefore one can assume a date of production between 1922 and the end of the 2nd period in 1926.
