Archaic Vase On Greek Motif Pedestal Imitating Porphyre

Imposing pyramidal pedestal in cast iron and polished steel edges, decorated with a classic frieze with Greek motifs.
The four painted faces show different varieties of red Dysberg porphyry and the cubic base is imitating to the gray Blyberg porphyry.
The archaic vase, probably from the same manufacture, has a decoration close to the Blyberg porphyry (Alvdalen deposit).
Our imposing pedestal could advantageously be used to support a large, more exceptional vase in Porphyry or another precious material.
