I love the bas relief on the wing marble vase... so intricate!
The painting on the Leoni dell'oro vase reminds me of the old German porcelains (Kaufmann?)with the pastoral and rococo scenes.
Duh.... it's probably Sevres. My bad...
I would have trouble picking a favorite, but the last 2 are gorgeous. When we were there in 2006, I couldn't spend as much time as I wanted looking at vases, since they didn't interest my husband or daughter. More's the pity!
I looked at my European photos this morning and brought back memories of the trip. Wish I could go back.
beautiful glimpse into their art!

Thanks for sharing more from the trip. I didn't take too many photos at the Vatican museums but it's fun to see what captured your attention. Look for to next week's installment.
These are all so very pretty, I love how you captured them so effortlessly. Wouldn't it be nice to have one of these in your home?
Despite seeing a million urns and vases and memorizing the names of their shapes, I never before wondered "Why the obsession since antiquity with this form?"
If I had to choose one, it would be Fiori Rosso despite its relative modernity to the ones above it. I also like the Verde Nero with its ear-shaped handles (auricular). Did you name them all yourself?
I need a nice vase collection like that. They'd make a great OREO cookie hiding place so I wouldn't have to share them with my kids.
And now I want to know.....do you pronounce VASE as V-Ahhhh-SSSS? Or do you say it like V-AYYYYY-SSSS?
Wrap Nero up for me, Sir.
