Vase 1886 - 1890

This is a decorative, "Vase" by the Faience Manufacturing Company, a company that operated from 1881 until 1892. The vase is a small, round piece decorated with stylized, leafy vines painted in green, pink and gold on a gold ground. This vase, currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a good example of the company's work, which combined traditional, decorative motifs with a modern, technical skill.
