THE BIRMINGHANI COLOSSAL
GLASS ENAMELED VASE, is by his Ma-
jesty's most gracious permission, entitled
" THE ROYAL CLARENCE VASE."
The proprietors have the proud satisfaction of stating
to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, that the Exhibi-
tion of this magnificent specimen of native talent spon-
taneously caUs forth the assurance of all who have visited
the room—that, contrary to the usual practice, the mag
nitude and character of the work so far exceeds all human
comprehension, as to render it totally impossible for any
description, however elaborate, to convey to the matured,
the learned, and travelled mind, the remotest idea of the
grandeur of the whole then before them, John Gunhy, the
inventor and executor, having been fortunate enough to
perfect a work of art, composed of elaborately cut glass,
that seems to combine all the splendour of the finest ena-
meled gold, enriched with the rarest jewels.
In truth, it may be honestly confessed, there is not in
the pale of the arts any work analogous or in any deuce
approaching this nn,gnificen Vase in this or any other
country. The mind and the eye, though twins in many
instances, are here at variance, and at a loss which to ad-
mire most—the genius which could conceive and embody
the work, or the uniform patience and resolution to exe-
cute such a stupendous and extraordinary wonder as this
Colossal Vase presents, being so extremely gorgeous, with-
out being gaudy. Thus constituted, the combined excel-
lence leaves all description, however (apparently) extra-
vagant, at an immeasurable distance.
The proprietors would fail were they to attempt to
paint even a feeble picture of this unique work of art,
having had the most unequivocal assurance of gentlemen
of profound and refined taste, that all the rare and choice
specimens of antiquity, which are so liberally submitted to
travellers at Rome, Florence, Babylon, &c. &c. fade info
insignifieance when compared with this extraordinary
vase, which for its palpable grandeur and beauty may not
inaptly he styled one of the wonders of the world.
The Vase is exhibited at the Queen's linos, Oxford-
street, in a spacious Room, purposely fitted up, under the
immediate direction of Mr. Finley, of Covent-garden
Theatre.—Admittance One Shilling.
