At Doccia they were produced in both maiolica and porcelain (MOORE 2007, p. 90, fig. 17). The version in porcelain was plain white, decorated with these little bouquets of flowers (Museo di Doccia, invv. 3922-3923, 3958-\r\n3959) or with flowering vines in relief (IMPORTANTI PORCELLANE E MAIOLICHE 2007, lot 234, p. 98). They are normally identified as “vasi a cannello” (tube vases) as listed in a factory inventory in 1758 (A. d’Agliano, in ITALIAN PORCELAIN 2013, cat. 84, p. 181). It is interesting to note that the inside and the back of the hexagonal base show the imprint of a fabric; the raw clay was probably spread on this fabric before cutting the shape. The tube that makes up the walls of the vase, however, was cast in a mould. The decoration of these two vases with gold rims and volutes and six carefully painted bouquets on each vase, is exceptionally ornate.\r\nO.R.\r\nBibliography: unpublished\r\n\r\n\r\n"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"ogee","id":"AAT1032"},{"text":"lobed","id":"x44258"},{"text":"flowers","id":"x35571"},{"text":"scrolls","id":"AAT10094"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"Vase (Pair Of Vases)\r\nTin-glazed porcelain\r\nMark: '8' on one, in black\r\nITALY (DOCCIA); about 1770\r\nC.88 & A-1952\r\n(Label draft attributed to John V.
