On this pair of “Pompeiian vases,” the asymmetrically hung medallions evoke Japanese designs, while the delicate pink hue of the ornaments and Solon’s cameo decoration call to mind a neo-Rococo aesthetic. Pair of "Pompeian" vases with covers. British, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. ca. 1874. Pâte-sur-pâte with gilding and enamel
