Donated by Mosher, Walter, Dr., Remarks:  One of a set of three vases that were commissioned by the members of the Committee of Congress on the Capitol as a memorial to the stability of the nation following the Civil War. The appropriation bill for 1870 included $10,000 for the vases and Horatio Stone received the commission. He completed the vases over the next two years at his studio in Italy, but when they were delivered to the Capitol it was discovered that because the sculptor had failed to sign the contract, the money appropriated had reverted to the U.S. Treasury. John Chipman Hoadley then purchased the vases, and upon his death, they were purchased by subscription and presented to the Boston Art Club in June 1887.
