General Notes

Curatorial Remarks

Note

Since these have lids, it is unlikely that they are wine coolers; it is more likely that they are covered urns; and can also be described as "campagna urn" referring antique precendents for this shape [Jessa J. Krick, Collections Manager, 1/24/2017]. Part of a set SS.89.21-.45 Condition: Gilt worn around base; staining from iron screws on the bottom
