Standing just under three feet, just under a meter tall, this monumental vase was made by the Sèvres porcelain manufactory near Paris, which was established in the 18th century with the support of Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour. The vase was part of the manufactory’s exhibit at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1867. Such oversized works often featured on the stands of Sèvres and other ceramic producers at World’s Fairs. The competition between exhibitors was intense, and a vase like this one would have drawn the eye of visitors, as well we showcasing the technical and artistic prowess of the firm. Firing a piece of porcelain this size was a formidable challenge in itself. The report of the United States Commission on the fair described the porcelains by Sevres as “without any equal.” It later sold to William T. Walters for 5,300 French francs ($1,100), a remarkable sum at the time.
The vase was a collaborative endeavor between the designer of the vessel’s shape, the potters who molded it, the artisan who made the bronze attachments, and the painter of the large oval “reserves” (framed spaces on the two sides of the vase between the handles). These were painted by Jules André (1807-1869), who was well known as a landscape painter with links to the Barbizon school. The scenes show on one side a view of the Chateau de Fontainebleau and on the other the Fontainebleau forest. Several Barbizon painters were trained as porcelain painters or worked at the Sèvres factory. The porcelain industry, like the print industry, was a remunerative occupation for artists struggling to establish themselves in other fields.
The vase’s unusual turquoise background color was described as “vert clair” (clear green) in the factory records and may have been inspired by Asian ceramics.

These four liturgical silver vessels—a paten and three chalices (1950.378–81)—form what is now called the Beth Misona Treasure, named for the village in northern Syria for which the objects were made. While nothing is known about the exact location and circumstances of the treasure's discovery, the people of the village of Beth Misona were, like other Christian communities in Syria and Palestine, probably forced to bury their church silver to hide it from the Persians or Arabs, who conquered their lands in the first half of the 600s. The paten, which held pieces of Eucharistic bread used during Mass, is decorated with an engraved Latin cross surrounded by a dedicatory inscription that names the paten's donor—Domnos—and its original location, the church of Saint Sergios in Beth Misona. The chalices, which contained the Eucharistic wine used during Mass, feature broad cups decorated with portrait busts of Saints Peter and Paul, Christ, and the Virgin. One chalice bears a dedicatory inscription naming its donor—Kyriakos, Domnos's son—and the priest of the church that received the pious gift—Zeno.

This ornament is made of a spondylus shell, from which the exterior surface has been carved away to reveal a layer of bright orange. The pampas cat inlaid on the surface in multicolored shell and stone has bean-shaped spots on his body, and grasps a gold gourd or fruit. In both Paracas and Nasca art, the small, non-domesticated pampas cat is strongly associated with beans and other crops. Perhaps it was thought to guard the fields from rodents and other pests.

As early as the seventh century, the practice of drinking tea and wine became an important part of elite leisure culture in Korea. A wide bowl like this example was especially suitable for drinking powdered tea shaved from a compressed tea cake, the most commonly enjoyed type during the Goryeo period. The image of flowering vines in relief on the inner wall of this tea bowl must have made the moment of drinking tea more enjoyable.
