About this work

Flower holder of blue-painted faience. The vase consists of three vases stacked on top of each other, the lower one large and canopic and the upper one small and globular. Each vase has a round foot. On the shoulders of each vase were blowing angel heads in relief, from whose mouths spouts protruded. For both vases these spouts are broken. The vases are each painted with flowers on and near rocks and birds (e.g., peacocks).
