Ancient Glass Bottles

A series of historical glass perfume bottles from Roman times, each exhibiting unique shapes, colors, and weathering effects, emphasizing ancient craftsmanship.

White maebyeong, 18th century, Unknown Korean, 15 x 11 1/2 in. (38.1 x 29.21 cm), Porcelain with clear glaze, Korea, 18th century, From the founding of the Joseon dynasty at the end of the 14th century, Korean potters produced finely crafted, undecorated white wares which reflected the austere tastes associated with Confucianism, the official ideology of the Joseon rulers. By the 18th century, however, imperfectly formed and casually glazed vessels such as this were being produced for use by all levels of Korean society. The pleasing informality and naturalness of such objects were admired by Japanese tea masters who collected Korean ceramics in great number.

This small vase is made of Louis Comfort Tiffany's signature Favrile glass. Early on when Tiffany began collaborating with glass artists on new types of production, his aesthetic ambitions were realized in the development of Favrile glass, deliberately named to sound French, expensive, and handmade.” Largely through Tiffany's marketing ability, Favrile glass became America’s greatest contribution to the Art Nouveau style. His works were exhibited at international expositions; galleries in major European cities, where his creations were bought by many museums; and in his store in Manhattan, known as the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Co., later Tiffany Studios. Along with the many shapes and sizes of his decorative vases, Tiffany used Favrile glass in mosaic panels, stained glass windows, and his artiOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERASake Bottle.

Paste covered with a light crackled glaze, (Banko ware). Edo period (1615-1868). CeramicsBottle with Decoration of Pine Tree ca. mid-17th century Japan This robust bottle belongs to a type of stoneware from the Takeo kilns that is defined by the use of white slip over nearly the entire vessel; iron-painted designs; a copper-green glaze that accentuates certain elements (such as the foliage); and the overall application of a transparent glaze. As with Joseon buncheong, the white slip not only makes a pleasing decoration in itself but creates an arresting contrast to the dark clay body. The use of copper-green glaze as a design element was undoubtedly inspired by the popular Oribe-style ceramics produced at the Mino kilns in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.. Bottle with Decoration of Pine Tree 50350Seif Yohei III (1851-1914) was a son of the Maruyama school painter Okada Ryhei (dates unknown). Though he studied painting, he ultimately succeeded his ceramics mentor, Seif Yohei II (1845-1878), in Kyoto. He distinguished himself as a remarkable porcelain artist, taking Qing dynasty Chinese wares as his inspiration. He experimented widely with new glazing techniques. In 1893, he became the first ceramicist to be appointed as an Imperial Household Artist under a system introduced by the Japanese government in 1890. He produced many works for use in Chinese-style tea gatherings called sencha. Flower Vase with Chrysanthemums, 1914-46. Seifū Yohei IV (Japanese, 1872-1951).

Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Przeszo Przyszoci unknownVase ca. 1896-1908 Dedham Pottery Steeped in ceramics from birth, Hugh C. Robertson pursued his craft with fierce devotion and a passion for experimentation. From a family of trained English ceramists, he honed his skills in New Jersey before settling in Massachusetts as one of the founders of Chelsea Keramic Art Works and later, Dedham Pottery. Robertsons lifelong explorations in glazes, particularly their color and texture, make him one of the key figures of American art pottery at the turn of the twentieth century.From Chelsea to Dedham, Robertson continued to pursue his passion for innovation, employing the grayish-white stoneware used for Dedhams dinnerware to throw simple forms covered with bold combinations of colored and textured glazes. Dedham Potterys vases are larger, thicker, and heavier than their Chelsea predecessors, and simple, solid forms predominate. Many of the Dedham vases in the Ellison Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art have varying combinations of reVase 1898-1900 Hungary. The iridescent colors of this vase were made using the eosin glazing process, a technique perfected in 1893 at Zsolnay, the preeminent Hungarian ceramics manufactory at the turn of the 20th century. The decoration of the vaseóincluding stylized depictions of golden trees and pendant clusters of pink and ruby flowersóis attributed to JÛzsef Rippl-RÛnai who also designed other decorative arts.Rippl-RÛnai spent 15 years in Paris, where he was part of a collective of young painters known as the Nabis (Prophets), a group that included Pierre Bonnard, douard Vuillard, and Maurice Denis..

Determined that pottery vessels should be regarded as true works of art, avant-garde ceramicists in France in the last decades of the nineteenth century transformed their craft into an intellectual and emotional endeavor. The pioneers of this revival were Jean Carriès, Ernest Chaplet, Théodore Deck, and Auguste Delaherche. These revolutionary artist-potters embraced artisanal traditions while pursuing lost techniques through exhaustive experimentation. Reacting to what they viewed as an excessive and improper use of ornament, they celebrated the simplicity and sincerity of their medium, following the tenets of the Art Nouveau style taking place in Europe. Based on the principles of the British Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau artists sought to reform the decorative arts by emphasizing uniqueness and a return to craftsmanship.

(18.4 × 11 × 11cm), Alternating figures of musicians and dancers decorate this bronze vessel. The musicians sit side by side, calmly playing their instruments, while the dancers move exuberantly, lifting their arms so their drapery flows dramatically behind them. This scene may depict performers during a ritual in which the souls of the dead were invoked to return to their bodies. The imagery coincides with the function of the vessel itself: as a funerary offering, this spirit good, or mingqi vessel, was deposited in a tomb, where the sounds and dances it portrays would have accompanied the dead in theafterlife. , China, Chinese, Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 C.E.), Containers -MetalsCovered Sugar Bowl 1835-50 American.
