Vase 1878

John Bennett's "Vase" (1878) is a ceramic masterpiece that showcases the artist's admiration for Islamic art. The vase is adorned with intricate floral patterns and vibrant colors, reminiscent of traditional Turkish Iznik pottery. The piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Bennett's talent for incorporating Eastern motifs into his work, a trend popular among artists of the late 19th century. The vase's elegant form and exquisite decoration make it a striking example of decorative arts during the Aesthetic Movement.
