Gothic and Grecian vases

Previous - Next

Figure 69 is a Gothic, and Figures 70, 71, are Grecian vases, commonly manufactured in plaster in our cities, but which are also made of Roman cement. They are here shown upon suitable pedestals-a being the vase, and b the pedestal. These with many other elegant vases and urns are manufactured in an artificial stone, as durable as marble, by Austin of London, and together with a great variety of other beautiful sculpturesque decorations, may be imported at very reasonable prices.
