The top of the vase is open on an asymmetrical angle and is hollow inside. The body of the ceramic vase is shaped like Jacqueline Kennedy's head and shoulders; her head is draped in a white veil. Her left hand is represented wearing a black glove, raised near her face. The crown of her head is open, leaving space for flowers. Mrs. Kennedy's sorrowful expression and mourning attire recall images of her broadcast around the world during coverage of President Kennedy's funeral.\r\n\r\nThe underside of the base has the following text stamped in black glaze:\r\n\"E-1852\r\nINARCO\r\nCLEVE OHIO [sic]\r\n(c) 1964\".\r\n\r\nThe vase is of a style called a \"head vase,\" which was popular in the mid-twentieth century. Shaped like a woman's head, when flowers were put in the vase, they often formed a hat or headpiece for the figure represented by the body of the vase. Inarco was a Japanese manufacturer that became popular in the post-World War II era, when American makers of head vases were facing strong competition from overseas manufacturers. While many head vases were designed to represent glamour girls or famous characters, this Jacqueline Kennedy head vase evokes another popular style, that of the Madonna. -- Lindsey Richardson, Curator of Collections\r\n\r\nFigurine has minimal stains on glaze.
