DescriptionA tall pedestal vase is full of fruit, flowers, and leaves. The vase has a round bowl, apparently of glass, supported on what appear to be acanthus leaves, either made of metal or gilded. It rests on a rectangular slab, possibly of marble. Fruits include peaches, a pear, plums, grapes, and cherries. Flowers include what appears to be a zinnia or chrysanthemum and a spray of bluebells or lily-of-the-valley.
