展示瓶

Thomas Fletcher American
 Sidney Gardiner American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 731

一群纽约商人定做了一对纪念瓶，打算在1825年送给州长狄维特·克林顿，以感谢他推动伊利运河的建造。费城的弗莱彻和加德纳模仿著名的古罗马瓮“沃里克瓶”制作了瓶身和双耳，那件古罗马瓮是1770年在意大利蒂沃利的哈德良别墅附近出土的。两只瓶身上都装饰着寓言中的人物和运河沿岸的景色。此处，墨丘利（掌管商业）和刻瑞斯（农业）站在位于奥尔巴尼的运河保护闸和闸门港两边；背面则是赫拉克勒斯（力量）和弥涅耳瓦（智慧），以及罗切斯特的高架渠和杰纳西河的瀑布。
