Bowl Fragment
Object type: decorative art
Date: 100 – 100
Materials: glass
Techniques: mosaic glass
Culture: roman
Location: roman empire
Subjects: decoration

In ancient Rome, there was a high demand for colorful glass that could dazzle banquet guests alongside the expensive silver and gold serving wares meant to impress. Fragments like this one would have once been a part of larger mosaic dishes. The mosaic pattern was made by sagging molten glass into bowl-shaped molds, a technique used on many of these fragments is similar to millefiori, “thousand flowers” in Italian, a modern glass-making method in which tiny rods of colored glass are bundled together, wrapped in a sheet of glass, fused, and then thinly sliced to reveal swirls of a flower-like patterns. They were arranged side by side, sometimes together with bits of colored glass, and fused together with heat.

Virgin and Child Attended by Angels
Object type: drawing
Materials: gouache, ink
Techniques: brush, highlighting, pen, wash
Artist: filippino lippi
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1457 – 1504
Subjects: angels,madonna and child

This bold, lively sketch of a Madonna and Child, attended by Angels, was probably preparatory for a painted panel of the same subject. Lippi’s mastery at defining shapes and volumes by controlling the intricate and dense network of lines in pen and ink is clearly evident. Given its similarities to other late drawings by the artist done with a similar technique - see for example the double-sided sheet of studies for a Madonna and Child in the British Museum, London inv. 1946,0713.4 (Popham and Pouncey 1950, no. 63) - the present sheet can be dated to shortly before Filippino died in 1504. When it was still in the Cartwright collection at Aynhoe (United Kingdom), the drawing was originally attributed by Philip Pouncey to Filippino's pupil Raffaellino del Garbo (ca. 1476-1527), an attribution followed by Jacob Bean when the study was acquired by the Museum in 1968. The attribution to Flippino was first proposed by Byam Shaw in 1983 and widely accepted by scholars (see here "References" for the most recent bibliography on the drawing). As pointed out by George Goldner (1997), the study belongs to a sequence of late pen-and-ink drawings that are datable to the last fifteen years of Filippino's life. The earliest securely dated example is the study in Lille made for a sibyl on the vault of the Carafa Chapel (See Bambach and Goldner 1997, no. 49). Others produced during the ensuing years include the Dancing Putto and the British Museum studies of the Virgin and Child, as well as the various drawings for the Pietà (originally intended for the never-executed altarpiece in the Certosa of Pavia) and the Washington, D.C., study of an angel for the altarpiece of 1501 in Bologna ( Bambach and Goldner 1997, nos. 86-88, 107). All share with the present work broad pen lines, animated short, often parallel strokes, notational and sometimes eccentric detailing of hands and feet, and broad use of wash; several also display abstract divisions of faces like those that mark the two angels here. It should be noted that none of these elements of style or draftsmanship occurs in any known drawing by Raffaellino. (FR)

Lamp Stand
Object type: lampstand
Materials: brass
Techniques: casting, engraving, inlay
Location: iran
Artist: abdullah haidar al-husaini
Artist role: dedicatee

This distinctive tall, cylindrical shape is characteristic of a group of Safavid lamp stands which share a similar silhouette and ornamentation. Many are covered with lyrical and mystical verses by celebrated poets of the period, reflecting the important relationship between Persian poetry and the visual arts. Rhythmic, scrolling vegetal arabesques serve as a background for the interspersed verses in Persian nasta’liq script from Sa`di’s "The Moth and the Candle", which read: "I remember a glance of your eye. I have heard that the moth said to the candle: I love you and if I shall be burned so be it. My tears and burning give you pleasure; I am the moth and it is my destiny to be burned; my heart is not quiet if I am not burned." This poem references the story of the moth and the flame, a sufi allegory in which the moth (the believer) is spellbound by the light of the beloved (God). According to the sufis, this may be understood as a spiritual metaphor in which the moth represents the human soul, drawn passionately to the divine light, longing to be reunited with God.

Snuff Jar

Materials: earthenware
Location: bennington
Inscriptions: Mark impressed on bottom: "Lyman, Fenton & Co./Bennington/Fenton's/Enamel/Patent/1849"

Beginning in the mid-18th century, English manufacturers introduced yellow-bodied pottery with mottled brown glazing, commonly known as Rockingham ware, to the United States market. By the 1840s, factories in America, aided by English immigrant craftsmen, were producing the pottery to great success. Two of the most notable American makers of Rockingham ware were located in Bennington, Vermont, where potteries had existed since at least 1785, but there were also manufacturers in New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland, and elsewhere. Responding to the utilitarian needs of America’s middle class, these potteries produced a large range of objects, from spittoons to inkwells, snuffboxes to pitchers, and candlesticks to doorknobs.

Lyman, Fenton, and Company modeled snuff jars such as this one loosely after a beloved English form known as a Toby Fillpot or Philpot. These jugs were usually modeled as a seated figure in 18th-century dress with a cup in one hand and a pitcher in the other. In this transformation of the English jug into an American snuff jar, the hat, or mouth, of the vessel has been turned into a lid.
