Double-spouted vase with cover

After a design by Reinhold Vasters German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 556

Although not a literal copy of an Italian Mannerist object, the vase is strongly reminiscent of Milanese lapidary work of the late sixteenth century. It was, in fact, included in the 1893 Paris sale of the collection of Frédéric Spitzer as an Italian work of the sixteenth century, but Vasters's drawings of the vase unquestionably identify it as a work of the nineteenth century.
