bieuville-frogs
Frogs on Handled Vase
Horace Bieuville for Sèvres · 1897 · glazed stoneware
The vessel is built as a miniature architecture: amphibian guardians form the handles, their bodies locking the silhouette into a ring. The archive treats this as a taxonomy anchor and a study in touch—where glaze pools where the hand would rest.
