Dimensions: 11 5/8 in. (29.5 cm). Maker: Adelaide Alsop Robineau (American, Middletown, Connecticut, 1865-1929 Syracuse, New York). Date: ca. 1907-8.By the late nineteenth century, there was an increasing desire among ceramists, especially women, to become more independent and to involve themselves in all aspects of their craft. Among those, Adelaide Alsop Robineau, working primarily in Syracuse, New York, became one of the most accomplished. She epitomized the studio potter. Working in the difficult medium of porcelain, she relied on her husband to prepare the glazes and fire the kiln. She was especially noted for her pain-staking carved decoration and rich crystalline glazes. She carved very carefully and methodically, patiently cutting away the unfired porcelain with needle-like tools, leaving the design in relief.This unusually large carved vase, consistent with her ambitious carved work, features decoration of three moose, depicted frontally with a rigidGreen vase with long neck ending in a bulb, anonymous, c. 1700 - c. 1724 Vase of porcelain with short pear -shaped body and long neck ending in a sphere, covered with a monochrome green glaze.

(35.9 x 29.2 cm). Maker: Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company (American, 1892-1902). Date: 1893-96.This vase forms part of a group of more than forty objects given to the Museum in 1896 by Louisine and Henry Osborne Havemeyer (96.17.9-.56), the first American glass to enter the Museum's collection. Most likely prompted by Louis Comfort Tiffany, the Havemeyers presented their collection of Tiffany favrile glass to the Museum only three years after Tiffany started making decorative blown-glass vessels. The shapes, colors, and finishes of Tiffany's vases and plaques were inspired by the natural world and by ancient glass.

A cannon could be loaded with a single cannonball or bundles of smaller projectiles, such as this grapeshot’.

Fritware, molded and glazedCandlestick ca. 1750-60 French, Sceaux Faience, or tin-glazed and enameled earthenware, first emerged in France during the sixteenth century, reaching widespread usage among elite patrons during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, prior to the establishment of soft-paste porcelain factories. Although characterized as more provincial in style than porcelain, French faience was used at the court of Louis XIV as part of elaborate meals and displays, with large-scale vessels incorporated into the Baroque garden designs of Versailles. Earlier examples of French faience attest to the strong influence of maiolica artists from Italy. Later works demonstrate the ways in which cities such as Nevers, Rouen, Lyon, Moustiers, and Marseille developed innovative vessel shapes and decorative motifs prized among collectors throughout Europe. While faience can be created from a wide mixture of clays, it is foremost distinguished by the milky opaque white color achieved by the addition of tinClose-up of three boxes on a deskmarket sale manufacturing container in oman muscat the old pottery Cricket Container, 5 7/8 x 2 3/16 x 2 3/16 in.
