Danish Nouveau Dragon Vase

Danish Nouveau Dragon Vase

Regular price $4,500.00

From the Danish island of Bornholm, this Ipsen black ceramic vase bears a sculpted, winged dragon on the point of striking an unsuspecting long-horned beetle.  This piece captures beautifully the late-nineteenth century fascination with science, Darwinism, and all things creepy and crawly.   (10.5" high)   ap10375e
