The Sensuous Impulse provides a rich sculptural traditions and shapes most common between the period of 200 BC and 1600 AD. It is said that who does not occupy the highest rank in the realm of force, an unhappy contradiction arises between aspiration and capacity. For the remembrances and continuous known of Rococo, there was museum established by Cooper Hewitt and Eleanor Garnier Hewitt known as Cooper Union Museum for Arts. It was the first design Museum in United States. The Son Cooper-Hewitt, Abram Hewitt travelled Europe throughout to explore industrial arts. The range of objects in this museum demonstrates the art and there quality are hallmarked. Similarly the two photographs I choose are from the museum similar to this kind of.
The Image on top is an, "Egyptian blue faience New Year flask with incised decoration , 650-600 BC, from the 'Isis tomb' at Vulci, southern Italy. British Museum: GR 1850,2-27,58."
The Second Image is a, "Wedgewood. Egyptian-style terracotta flask, c. 1867. The Birkenhead Collection. Dresser was inspired by an egyptian flask in the British Museum."
The second image was an idea taken from the top image. The top flask was converted into more attractive and painted flask. The top flask was made in 1850 and the one below that was made in 1867. so there was time difference also in the making of these flasks.
