Endangered Species Canopic Canisters or Jars by Vista Alegre
Vista Alegre
A beautiful series of covered urns representing endangered species. The concept surrounds the use of canopic jars used by the Egyptians to preserve remains from the mummies.
These jars, presumably, make a statement concerning the status of the represented species. Decor on the vases, unlike typical canopic jars, is not heiroglypic in nature; it is a series of circuit boards.
One of the most interesting designs from the firm. Porcelain.
H 13"-14" X D 5.7"
