label: Description
content: Oblong vase with a thin neck topped with a domed finial. There is a carved, architectural band encircling the vase. On either side are acanthus leaves; in the center is a grotesque mask on top of a scalloped shell. The horn of the mask interlaces with the tails of two tritons, who are situated back to back and reach their arms up toward the neck of the vase. The foot of the vase is tall and thin with a band of organic, vegetal decoration. The vase is elevated on a low, corniced pedestal. The plate is lettered and numbered.
