The original marble ‘Warwick’ vase, dating from the time of the emperor Hadrian and weighing some 3.5 tons, was excavated c 1770. In 1788 the Earl of Warwick installed it in a special greenhouse at Warwick Castle, where it remained until 1979 and its purchase by Glasgow Museums and Art Galleries. Completed in 1821, Thomason’s copy was cast in iron with brass handles and a decorative !nish; the medal records that work on it had begun in 1814. Following further work on the decorative !nish of his vase, Thomason issued two more medals in bronze and white metal in 1829.
