Item Details
Description
Lota Vases. New York, Maurice Kains [?], ca. 1940s. Two Chinese vessels repurposed and expertly converted into lota bowls that will continually refill themselves with liquid even after the liquid is poured from them. Larger vase stands 8" high; smaller stands 5 ½" high. Good condition.

See The Linking Ring for July, 1942 for Maurice Kains' extensive discussion of his work on the lota principle. The article includes a photograph of one vase virtually identical to the larger vase offered here.
