Cadw's description
Location
The formal Italian garden stands between Vaynol Old Hall and Vaynol Hall, in the heart of Vaynol Park. The urn is mounted at the centre of the garden, where a transverse path crosses the main axis leading up to the fountain terrace.
History
The urn and pedestal are early to mid C18, in a continental baroque style, and were reset in the formal garden at its inception in c1913.
Exterior
Of Weldon type limestone. A tall swagged urn with a gadrooned base and broad foliated rim below the fruit encrusted cap, set on a panelled and painted pedestal.
Reason for designation
Included as a very fine example of its type, and for group value as an important element in this garden associated with Vaynol Hall.
