BLACK STONE VASE AND COLUMN.

Cup on column in black marble Both the profiles of the cup and the column, very similar to the Doric order, show a marked influence of examples from classical antiquity, more of the Roman for its freedom in combining certain elements and proportions than of the Greek, more rigid with architectural standards. This type of work was widely used since the Renaissance in the interior decoration of palaces and prominent gardens.
