Agateware Vase

Wedgwood and Bentley

Cleveland Museum of Art

The vase is a ceramic piece with an agateware pattern featuring swirling bands of brown, black, white, and light blue. It has a bronze-like head of a man protruding from one side, positioned on a wide body that narrows at the bottom into a short, sturdy foot. A square base supports the vase. The top of the vase has two short handles on either side. The background is dark gray, transitioning to black at the top with a shadow cast to the right. The overall style is reminiscent of Wedgwood and Bentley's neoclassical designs.
