Eggs on eggs. This unique pair of egg-shaped vases—complete with tiny eggs in nests on top—would have made fine decoration for the lucky owner in 1700s France. Why eggs? The egg was known as a symbol of the ancient world, and in this case might have appealed to the trending taste of the time for objects that were evocative of classical antiquity. Swipe for close-ups that show the cool basketwork base, painted mythological scenes, and blue background decorated with hundreds of tiny gold dots. . . . 🏷: #Easter #HappyEaster #Eggs #Garniture #DecArts #GettyMuseum
