Vase with face 1892–93 Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat French Emerging from the globular body of this vase is the face of a sleeping woman. Dalpayrat collaborated with the sculptor Voisin-Delacroix on a number of pieces, mainly small models. This large-scale vase is one of their most ambitious works. Voisin-Delacroix was associated with the Symbolist movement, and this piece–with the hidden sleeping face–relates to Symbolist themes associated with dreaming. Dalpayrat's streaky glaze in white, blue, yellow, and copper-red adds to the dreamlike Vase with face. French, Bourg-la-Reine. 1892–93. S
