From the museum
In 1899, French architect Hector Guimard designed the Castle Henriette, built on Rue des Binelles in Sèvres, a suburb of Paris, France. This stoneware vase is named for the street and bears similarities to architectural features of Castle Henriette. The vase’s asymmetrical and curvilinear design showcases the trademarks of the Art Nouveau style. Five examples of the Vase des Binelles were made by the still-operating Sèvres Manufactory, whose ceramics were celebrated for their innovative decoration and design since its establishment in the mid-1700s.
