Vase (vase hollandois nouveau ovale) (one of a pair) (part of a set)

Manufactory Sèvres Manufactory French
Decorator Floral decoration probably by Jean-Baptiste Noualhier French
1763
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 529
This model of vase is made in two parts. The flared upper section would have contained earth for growing plants; the lower section held water. Small holes in the base of the upper section allowed the water to be absorbed. These two vases formed a garniture with the slightly earlier vase, "vase Boileau" (50.211.158a, b), and were owned by Prince Henry of Prussia.
