Figural spill vase

Lyman, Fenton & Co.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase features a reclining deer design with a neck and flared mouth extending upward behind the deer. The piece exhibits a yellow-green glaze with variegated streaks. The deer lies on an oval base adorned with textured floral motifs. The base, deer, and vase neck are one contiguous piece. The overall form is asymmetrical. The deer faces right, with its head slightly elevated and front legs folded under its body. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
