Hanging Vase
Nature is represented again in the hanging wall vase created for a flower arrangement. Covered in off-white lead and copper-based glazes, the body has a fine craquelure. The form of the vase, resembling a dried-out, wrapped leaf or fruit, or perhaps a nest, is somewhat irregular, and the rough texture of the clay was created by hand-shaping. Certain Tiffany designs manifest similarly dynamic shapes, and Moore favored such variegated coloration.
