Vase Amphora
The Met x Eichholtz presents the Vase Amphora, a sculptural piece that transforms ancient elegance into modern artistry. Carved in a timeless amphora shape with flowing curves and rounded proportions, this decorative object offers a bold yet graceful presence. The sand-colored finish enhances its sculptural form, while the solid construction gives it a monumental quality. Although not functional as a vessel, its silhouette recalls classic wine containers and enriches any space with historical depth. HISTORIC PROVENANCE This design takes inspiration from a 7th-century Chinese wine container at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. While the form of the Museum's vessel echoes the shape of Greco-Roman amphoras and its animal-headed handles draw from Persian and Central Asian traditions, the original piece is grounded in Chinese artistry, embodying the cosmopolitan spirit of the Tang dynasty (618-907). This fusion of styles is reimagined here in stone-like serenity.
Dimensions: 11.02" | H. 20.87"
