The Spitfire first flew in the early months of 1936 and so is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. This legendary aircraft’s role in World War II had a major influence on our history and it is only fitting that it should be immortalised in works of art such as this. Peter has captured the scene of a Mark I Spitfire flying over London in the dawn light. It is part of the 609 squadron returning home after another mission protecting the capital during the Blitz. Peter even paints the inside of each vase, which, given the size and shape, is nothing short of miraculous. The skill and patience involved in this work has to be seen to be believed!

Peter Graves is an exceptionally accomplished artist who has produced many special commissions including those for the Royal family. Given the intricacy of the work involved Peter will produce just 20 of these vases. Goviers intends to launch a companion Lancaster Vase in the Autumn and collectors purchasing the Spirtfire Vase will receive first option of the new edition.
