Vase

Spanish, Almería or Granada

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 199


This flamboyant green vase from southern Spain reflects the region’s history of Islamic rule. In shape and decoration, it has more in common with glass from Syria and Egypt than from nearby Catalonia, where the glass was more Venetian in style at the time. Moore was an enthusiastic collector of glass from both regions of Spain, and his collection makes up a large portion of The Met’s holdings in this area.
