Pair of nozzled vases 1795 - 1899

This pair of heart-shaped, nozzled vases was produced by Samson and Company between 1795 and 1899. The vases are decorated with a floral motif and feature a pair of bird figures in the front and back. The design of the vases, which were likely used for flowers or decorative purposes, is characteristic of the style popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. They are currently part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
