Context: Wright made two designs for urns, which he used in a number of his most important commissions. The urns were among Wright's favorite objects and fit in with his desire for an integrated environment that blended exterior and interior elements and brought nature indoors. Earlier photographs show the urns in the locations for which they were made, filled with prairie plants of the Midwest. Constructed of separate molded, hand-hammered copper sections, soldered together, each urn varies slightly in shape and dimensions. A patina built up with thin glazes of colored lacquer gives the appearance of age. The circle-in-a-square motif occurs in many Wright designs.
