Bakewell, Page & Bakewell

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Celery Vase by Bakewell, Page & Bakewell features a clear glass vase with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The vase has a wide, flared mouth with a decorative edge featuring small bumps or notches. The body of the vase tapers down from the mouth and features a pattern of etched lines and geometric shapes. The lower portion of the vase is narrower and features vertical etched lines. A decorative band encircles the vase near the base of the bowl. The vase sits on a short, thick stem with a round base. The vase appears to be sitting on a reflective surface, possibly glass or metal, and the background is a plain light-colored wall.
