This elegant vase is cast entirely in bronze and it is signed by its makers, the sculptor Ferdinand Levillain (French, 1837-1905) and the master bronzier Ferdinand Barbedienne (French 1810-1892). The vase stands on three paw feet, set on a triform base of veined green marble. The body of the vase is slender and ovoid.
