Vase (from the Chicago World's Fair Garniture)

A tall baluster vase with two flared, fan-shaped handles trailing red-and-green patterned streamers from ring mounts. The pale grey-green body depicts a snow-laden pine bough above a rocky, snow-capped outcrop amid cresting blue waves, with several small birds in flight and perched among the branches; the neck is banded in red and cream with gold five-pointed stars, and the foot is ringed in turquoise, yellow, and red scrollwork on a bronze base. Made of cloisonné enamel on silver wire after a design by Araki Kanpo, 1893, from the Chicago World's Fair Garniture.
