This painting shows a set of vases with unique designs. The vases have basic antique forms, but with a twist. They're decorated with fantastic creatures, which was a departure from classical ornament. This was a popular thing to do in the mid-18th century, as artists were limited only by their imagination. Check out the work of Jacques François Saly to see more of his creative designs.
