拍品專文

As part of the Orientalist art movement which swept through Europe during the 19th century, a newfound appreciation of the arts of Muslim Spain drove a revival of Alhambra-style vases manufactured by celebrated workshops such as those of Plàcido Zuloaga and Tiffany & Co. While the majority of such revival Alhambra-style vases were made of pottery or bronze, the present vase is unusual for having been made with electroplated stucco.
