Vase 1882

"Vase" is a ceramic artwork by John Bennett, dating back to 1882 and currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The artwork is characterized by its vivid blue glaze, upon which colorful floral patterns are painted in a realistic style. The floral motif, likely peonies, are rendered with detailed strokes and contrasts, highlighting the artist's keen attention to detail. This ceramic vase is an excellent example of the decorative art movement popular in the late 19th century.
