Description

A molded stoneware vase by Adrien Dalpayrat, this much sought after model features a naturalistically rendered spider in the midst of its web. This beautiful example is glazed in an allover blue with undertones of cream, green, and burgundy. Stylistically, the vase reveals Dalpayrat's profound appreciation of Japanese decorative arts: the spider motif frequently appears on lacquer ware and sword guards, while the vase's form evokes the irregular shapes of ceremonial tea bowls.
