The handle of this elegant vessel
terminates in
the head of an animal, perhaps a hound
or a fox.
That is the only concession to
decoration the
piece makes: otherwise it maintains an
unbroken
simplicity of line that is immensely
appealing to
the modern eye. Time has added an
emerald
patina that lends the vase a new visual
dimension, transforming what was once a
functional object into a work of art.
