Design for a vase
Gilles Paul Cauvet, c. 1770 - c. 1780
Vases were amongst the favourite subjects for 18th-century architects and designers. Cauvet was an architect who occupied himself with every aspect of interior decoration. The vase in this design has a kind of second skin, which curves upwards to form the openwork handles. It stands on a circular pedestal, sculpted with garlands of fruit.
