Commento
Médaille en métal blanc du vase Thomason. La copie du vase Warwick était la plus grande production de Sir Edward Thomason (1769-1849), qui était l'un des plus grands artisans de Birmingham. Le vase en marbre original a été exhumé en Italie vers 1770 et date d'entre 118 et 133 après J.-C. Il mesurait 170 cm de haut et 150 cm de diamètre et pesait environ 3,5 tonnes. En 1788, le comte de Warwick l'installa dans une serre spéciale au château de Warwick où il resta jusqu'en 1979, date à laquelle il fut acheté par les musées et galeries d'art de Glasgow. Achevée en 1820, la copie fut coulée en fer avec des poignées en laiton et une finition décorative, et Thomason émit une médaille de bronze pour commémorer l'événement. Après d'autres travaux sur la finition décorative du vase, Thomason émit deux autres médailles en bronze et en métal blan.
White metal medal of the Thomason Vase. The copy of the Warwick Vase was the largest production of Sir Edward Thomason (1769-1849), who was one of Birmingham's greatest craftsmen. The original marble vase was excavated in Italy around 1770 and dates to between 118 and 133 AD. It measured 170 cm (67 in) high and 150 cm (59 in) in diameter and weighed approximately 3.5 tons. In 1788, the Earl of Warwick installed it in a special greenhouse at Warwick Castle, where it remained until 1979, when it was purchased by Glasgow Museums and Art Galleries. Completed in 1820, the copy was cast in iron with brass handles and a decorative finish, and Thomason issued a bronze medal to commemorate the event. After further work on the decorative finish of the vase, Thomason issued two further medals in bronze and white metal
