Suite de vases

Bossi, Benigno, 1727-1792 · 1765 · [Parma : B. Bossi] · 21 pictures

Suite de vases is an 1765 series of engraved vase designs printed in Parma by Benigno Bossi, dedicated to the court of Duke Ferdinand of Parma and his minister Du Tillot. The plates show urn and goblet forms on pedestals, with handles of figures, satyr masks and sculpted bodies, rendered in fine stippled and hatched etching. A designer could draw from them the proportions and handle motifs of neoclassical garden and table ware.
