Wedgwood Jasper歷史小壺3-1

 

1. Ulysses teapot Inspired by an early 19th century from, the Ulysses teapot features a central bas-relief showing hero of the Trojan Wars 'Staying the Chariot of Victory' by which enterprise he hastens the defeat and capture of Troy. Known as Odysseus by the Greeks, and Ulysses by the Romans, his adventures following the Trojan Wars are detailed in Horner's Odyssey. This teapot is crafted in primrose Jasper with white bas-relief.

這款尤利西斯茶壺(Ulysses Teapot)的設計靈感來自19世紀初的造型，壺身中央飾有浮雕，描繪了特洛伊戰爭的英雄"守住勝利戰車"(Staying the Chariot of Victory)的場景，此舉加速了特洛伊(Trojan)的戰敗與陷落。在希臘神話中，他被稱為奧德修斯(Odysseus)，而羅馬人則稱之為尤利西斯(Ulysses)。他的冒險故事發生於特洛伊戰爭之後，詳載於荷馬(Homer)的《奧德賽》(Odyssey)。本茶壺採用淡黃色Jasper(報春花色)背景，並飾以白色浮雕，展現細緻的工藝美感。

Wedgwood「歷史小壺」系列作品的設計理念，是將其十八/十九世紀間生產的各種造型壺中，精心挑選出六款最具代表性的茶壺，加以縮小製成"歷史茶壺小型版"。
