Curios

Snuff bottles, enamel vessels, and singular finds for the cabinet of curiosities.

Beside the studio stood the cabinet: vessels of enamel and fire, pocket landscapes in agate, pieces that refuse a single category. Curios are shown as companions to the scholar’s table, not as commodities of novelty.
