Description |
This Greek krator-shaped vase is an example from Roseville Pottery Company's Rozane Olympic line designed by Frederick Hurten Rhead (1880-1942) and introduced circa 1906. Stylistically, this line is considered Greek Revival because the vase shapes and their decorative motifs resemble Greek red-figure vase painting dating from 520 BCE to the 3rd century BCE. This vase features the scene Lampetia Complaining to Apollo, which was inspired by British artist John Flaxman's (1755-1826) illustration of the same name based on a scene from Homer's Odyssey. |
