By accident I found myself in the Art Deco-Art Nouveau display at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. Even though I have not been interested in decorative arts, I became fascinated with the items on display. The creator of this Art Nouveau porcelain and enamel covered jar is Samuel Schellink (Dutch, 1876-1958)

 

I took photos of this item to see how well my new camera worked indoors (and to see what I could learn about using light sources).
