This elegant vase is cast entirely in bronze, and it is signed by the sculptor Ferdinand Levillain (French, 1837-1905) and the master bronzeworker Ferdinand Barbedienne (French 1810-1892), who worked on the vase between them.

The upper half features gilt bronze Classical depictions of people, animals and arabesques in relief, and twin mounted handles. The lower half is decorated with winged sphinxes surrounded by scrolls and foliage as well as a grain pattern.
