The body of this vase features a series of horizontal bands of impressed motifs in repeating patterns of horizontal and diagonal lines as well as circular indentations, finished in a variegated tan and brown dripping glaze which accents the geometric forms.
This vase was exhibited in Salvaging the Past: Georges Hoentschel and French Decorative Arts from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, an exhibition held at the Bard Graduate Center in 2013.
The underside of the vase features impressed firm’s marks and an incised signature.
