Description
An earthy green glaze unifies the shape and decoration of this delightfully whimsical vase. With back-to-back growling panther heads at the shoulder, the multi-lobed body becomes the jungle hideout of two pouncing animals. This distinguished vessel would have been a handsome conversation piece in the library or office of an adventurous professional man.
