This black basalt urn with cover, crafted by Wedgwood and Co. between 1775 and 1795, is a fine example of Neoclassical design. The urn, made of a dark ceramic material, is decorated with intricate relief work featuring draped festoons, a popular motif in Neoclassical art that symbolizes abundance and victory. This urn is a testament to the enduring appeal of classical design and the skill of Wedgwood and Co. in capturing its essence. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to its artistic merit and historical significance.
