Vase 1874 - 1888

This ceramic vase, titled "Vase," was produced by the Chelsea Keramic Art Works between 1874 and 1888. The vase features a distinctive, almost geometric, shape and is adorned with an intricate design of an iris flower and leaves, elegantly rendered in a contrasting pale yellow against the brown glaze. The vase stands on a square base with rounded edges and intricate claw feet, reflecting the influence of Asian aesthetics popular in the late 19th century. Today, the vase resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
