Garden Vase

anonymous, c. 1700 - c. 1725

This vase, one of a set of two, is from Enghuizen Estate near Hummelo. During the Second World War this 19th-century country house was used as a military hospital, and torn down shortly thereafter. The vases will have originally come from an older country manor. They are made of marble from the famous Carrara quarries in Italy and have two handles in the shape of female busts.
