Object history | This vase was bought from the Paris 1867 Exhibition, where the Museum made extensive purchases of European ceramics and glass, above all from the French section, which was by far the largest in both materials, with a total of 11,645 exhibitors. The vase's shape is distantly related to a Renaissance variation on an antique form, while its ornament is an unabashed mixture of Moorish and Chinese floral and arched motifs. |
