Gustav Klimt was a painter from Vienna, focusing on symbolism and art noveau. His work primarily focused on the female body, and he featured many women in his paintings. This vase, displays one of his most famous pieces, “The Kiss” which uses a range of deep rich tones and shapes to make the audience think. 

This vase displays an unusual effect where the painting forms with the edge of the vase to create a marvellous stand alone piece that captures the eye.
