Louvre vase

This is a Neoclassical marble vase or urn, often also referred to as a Medici vase or Louvre vase. This type of vase is recognizable by its distinctive shape: a broad, ovoid body resting on a pedestal with a round base and a wide, flared rim at the top. Key Features Material: The vase is made of white or light-colored marble, probably Bianco Carrara, with natural gray veins or mottling inherent to the natural product. Style: The design is classical and reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman urns, a style that became popular during the Neoclassical period in the 18th and 19th centuries. Use: Although historically used as a garden vase or urn, this type of marble object is now often used indoors as a stylish decorative piece or flowerpot. Uniqueness: Because marble is a natural stone, each vase is unique in its color shades and patterns.
