label: Description
content: Vase in the shape of an urn with a lid decorated with acanthus leaves and topped by a pinecone finial. There is a relief band at the neck of the form, depicting a scene of putti playing. The body of the vase is fluted and has mask knob-handles on either side. The foot is narrow with a spiral pattern, and the vase is placed on a low, simple, squared socle. The print is lettered but is missing the numbering found in earlier editions.
