METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART DISPLAYS SWANS

Click the title of this post to see a gorgeous large Wedgwood majolica vase sporting beautiful swans. It's not a piece we haven't seen before, it's a gorgeous photo of one of the two held by The Met. I'm surprised at their description, it's really not "pottery" but earthenware and there is no mention of the word Majolica. Certainly The Met ceramic curatorial staff knows these terms. Seems odd to me that they aren't used! If there is something to pine for in the ceramic world, this would rank high on our list of desires! Enjoy!

Go here to see the Met's other Wedgwood holdings, pretty wonderful!
