DescriptionBaluster shaped vase. Seasons are depicted on medallions of young women. Each panel with flowers or foliage of the season. The seasons are listed in French above each head. The lip is fluted and the base becomes a square. Probably mounted on a marble socle since there are screw holes on the bottom.
