Date: probably 18th-19th century.Like most Qajar-period glass vessels, this sprinkler is monochromatic with an elegant profile and minimal surface ornamentation. Characterized by a bulbous body and very high, narrow neck this form was one of the most common in late-medieval Persian glass. The small tapered mouth was used to sprinkle fragrant water infused with rose petals and other perfumes. A trail has been applied along the neck in a spiral, and applied goffered bands adorn the four delicate handles of the vessel. The elegant silhouette emphasizes its lightness and fragility.

Washington Glassworks, Blown glass with enamel and gilding, 1878-1894, glasswares, Decorative Arts, Vase, VaseVase with marine life 1882 Thomas J. Wheatley Many of the Cincinnati potters and decorators of the late 1870s and early 1880s were skilled practitioners of the French technique of barbotine, or painting with colored slips under the glaze. Another aspect of barbotine decoration was introducing applied elements of flowers, or in this exceptional example, marine life. Thomas J. Wheatley demonstrated an affinity for Japanese art that aligned with French ceramics in the 1880s. Known primarily for his barbotine, this vase and a small numbers in this mode, reflect the influence of Asia in their motifs and inspiration, as well as demonstrating his reverence for the French sixteenth-century pottery of Bernard Palissy. Palissy, a prominent figure in all histories of ceramics, is often considered the father of modern ceramic art. Wheatleys distinctive vase drew upon the Renaissance masters work in portraying sea life realistically and in high relief. It literally pulsates with life as the fish,Amulet - filar dżed. unknown, authorIncense Burner in the Shape of a Courtiers Hat with Scrolling Peonies ca. 1690-1750 Japan The complex form of this incense burner is based on the Heian-period courtier hat (kanmuri) that was part of the formal court dress (sokutai) of aristocrats. The black-lacquered hat has a low, flat cap, a tall knob at the back for the topknot, two crossbars attached to the two sides of the knob to stabilize the hat, and a long, flat tail in the back. With the ubiquitous appearance of courtiers hats in Genji painting and the numerous references to incense in the tale, it was an ingenious idea to create an incense burner in the kanmuri shape. Nabeshima-type celadon vessels were covered with a thick layer or two of glaze, creating elegant high-quality wares, enriched here by relief peonies and scrolling vines that decorate the censers body..

Date: ca. 1905.This object forms part of a group of glass vessels and enamel containers Louis Comfort Tiffany loaned to the Museum in 1925 that were later given to the Museum by the Tiffany Foundation in 1951 (51.121.1-.44). Tiffany originally chose this group of objects to show examples of form, technique, and color that were not represented in the 1896 Havemeyer gift (96.17.9-.56). The mark on the underside of this vase "A - coll" indicates that this object was once part of Tiffany's private collection. Less than 250 objects are so marked. This vase, with its ingenious use of millefiore canes assembled, fused, and incorporated into a bubble of glass, resembles agate. This appearance is furthered by the thickness of the vases and their cut facets.

Date: 1915-20.Marblehead Pottery grew out of a widespread movement that engaged craft enterprises as beneficial to patients suffering from nervous disorders. In 1905 Dr. Henry J. Hall established such a clinic in Marblehead, Massachusetts. The scenic seacoast village of Marblehead, with its tranquility, views of the ocean, and salt air was deemed well suited for Hall's sanatorium. Jessie Luther, a painter, weaver, and potter from Rhode Island who had experience in teaching therapeutic crafts, supervised the different craft enterprises of textiles, wood, and ceramics. Shortly thereafter, Hall hired Alfred University-trained Arthur E. Baggs to lead the clay-working operations. The idea of a therapeutic workshop for convalescing patients, however, was soon short-lived, and after about a year the pottery became a separate entity. As Hall acknowledged, the techniBall, 18th-19th century, 6 3/4 x 5 1/2 x 5 1/2in. (17.1 x 14 x 14cm), Glass, United States, 18th-19th centuryVase with cover. Culture: Japan. Dimensions: H.

(79.06 x 22.54 cm), Banpo type Earthenware with striated markings, China, 50th-40th century BCE, This long slender water vessel was created in northwest China in the Yangshao period. It was used to retrieve and store water from local rivers. The long pointed end could be used to anchor the jar along the stream in mud or in a hole dug into dirt when carried away.

Vase 487484Covered Vase, 18th century, 11 5/8 in. (29.53 cm), White and brown jade in vertical strata, China, 18th century, This vase is considered one of the most striking examples of two-color jade in existence. The artist has used the natural colors of the vertical strata to great advantage in depicting the paired dragons and the circular shou, or longevity, symbol that appears in brown against the white background. The rear of the vessel, though carved with identical motifs, is entirely white. The practice of highlighting aspects of a work by carving in accordance with existing color variations was already prevalent by the Song dynasty (960-1280). The technical mastery of Qing artisans and the greater variety of jade available allowed them to produce spectacular objects like this. Keeping with eighteenth century taste, the vessel shape in this instance is vaguely antiquated. Although based on a type of ancient storage jar, this vase presents the stylized and decorative paired dragons, animal Antiquarian glass bottle for liquid products. It was used the last centuries
