This vase is a glossy white color with a blue trim around the opening. The front of the vase features a detailed depiction of the intersection of two stone bridges over a body of water as well as stone structures and foliage along the bank of the body of water. The script reads “ Y Bridge City, Zanesville, Ohio” and sports , on its surface, a hand-painted depiction of the world famous Y shaped bridge that stands across the Muskingum River in Zanesville, Ohio. The Y bridge was completed in 1814 , it was reconstructed and reinforced multiple times. There have been 5 Y bridges built in the same spot over the years. The fifth and current incarnation of the Zanesville Y bridge held its opening ceremony on November 9th, 1984. I believe that the image of the bridge depicted on this vase is a red presentation of the 4th Y bridge which stood from 1902-1979, that is the version that this painting most accurately resembles. less
