Two-handled vase 1893 - 1900

This two-handled vase, made by Columbian Art Pottery between 1893 and 1900, is a fine example of American art pottery. The vase is decorated with a painted scene of a nude woman in a woodland setting, a popular subject for the Art Nouveau movement. The vase's ornate gold accents on the handles, base and neck add a touch of elegance to the design. The vase is currently part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
