Ornamental pot
Vilmos Zsolnay (pattern design - presumably)1897/1898
Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest
Budapest, Hungary
The outline of the hemispherical body of the vase is “completed” by the handles connecting the body with the top rim. The rounded shoulder line supports a conical neck and a splaying, then narrowing top rim. The turned shape follows North-European, geometrical models, while the marbled decoration is the revival of J. Wedgwood's glazes imitating precious stones.
