~ Royal Worcester James Stinton Turkey Twin Handled Vase ~
Though well known for his depiction of pheasants, the subject matter of a turkey makes this a rare subject indeed.
Standing on a square base, the vase has two hand painted panels by James, the front one depicts a turkey by a farm yard fence, the other is a spray of rose hips.
It is back stamped in Green for Royal Worcester, with a date letter of 'L' and a pattern number of 955 over a 'G'.
The base, handles and rim are decorated in gilt work over a pale sea green.
It is signed by the artist to the lower left of the main panel.
~ James Stinton (1870-) ~
James Stinton was the youngest son of John Stinton senior and John juniors youngest brother.
James started with the Grainger factory specialising in gamebirds on ornamental vases, plate centres and coffee sets.
He moved to the Royal Worcester factory when Graingers was taken over in 1902.
James is well known for his watercolours, mostly of the same subjects he painted on porcelain.
He was a fine painter of pheasants, grouse and other game birds, either in flight or on the ground in their natural setting.
He produced a huge volume of these on everything from large decorative vases to dinner services and tea cups or coffee cans.
John is also well known for his game bird watercolours and both are equally desirable and sought after.

For many years James would paint a plate from the Royal Worcester factory and send it to his brother in America for Christmas and birthdays. His brothers descendants now have a fine and extensive collection.
James Stinton retired from Royal Worcester in 1951 at the age of 81.
