Description |
This amphora-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 a scene depicting the Greek goddess Eos (or Aurora in Latin) and her nymphs, which was inspired by British artist John Flaxman's (1755-1826) illustration "The Morn, All Beauteous to Behold," from Aeschylus The Persians. |
