Rijksmuseum
Vase
1885
This vase features a striking combination of decoration. The exceptionally free medley of Gothic, Japanese, Chinese, Arabian and Classical motifs looks like overlapping swatches of fabric. Experiments of this kind are typical of the glass artist Emile Gallé. In the 1880s this brought him lasting international success.
