Vase 1871 - 1899

This ceramic vase, titled "Vase", was created by French artist Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat between 1871 and 1899. The vase is made of earthenware and glazed in a dark, almost black, color, giving it a smooth and slightly shiny appearance. The simple, rounded form of the vase, with a small opening at the top, is characteristic of Dalpayrat's work, which often drew inspiration from Japanese aesthetics. Currently residing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this vase is a beautiful example of the artist's masterful craftsmanship and appreciation for simple, functional forms.
