Flower Vase

Saint-Porchaire

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Flower Vase by Saint-Porchaire is a tall, multi-tiered ceramic vase with a predominantly white body adorned with green and gold accents. The vase features a large base that tapers upwards, supporting a series of stacked, ornate sections. The base has a round, flat bottom with a decorative edge and is supported by small, rounded feet. Two small, white figurines are positioned on either side of the base. The main body of the vase consists of a large, perforated bowl-like section with a wide mouth and a narrower base, decorated with geometric patterns and small, raised motifs. Above this section, a smaller, similarly decorated bowl is stacked, followed by a series of three more stacked, ornate sections, each featuring green and gold details. The top section is a small, shallow bowl. The overall design is ornate, with intricate details and patterns throughout.
