Vase 1883 - 1889

This small, delicate vase, crafted by the Chelsea Keramic Art Works between 1883 and 1889, showcases the artistry of the late 19th-century ceramic movement. The vase features a white, crackled glaze, a technique known as craquelure, adorned with a simple yet elegant design of blue floral motifs. The vase's slender silhouette and understated floral decoration evoke a sense of refined beauty and sophistication, reflecting the aesthetic ideals of the Victorian era. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece offers a glimpse into the creative spirit of a renowned ceramics company that thrived during a time of significant artistic change.
