Covered Vase 1886 - 1890

Edward Lycett's "Covered Vase" is a ceramic masterpiece showcasing the artist's mastery of intricate detail and decorative patterns. Created between 1886 and 1890, the vase features a bulbous body adorned with delicate floral motifs in gold and pink, against a white background. The upper portion of the vase transitions to a slender neck, culminating in a lavishly ornamented lid. The base of the vase features a band of rich blue and gold, adding another layer of complexity to the piece. This artwork exemplifies the artistic trends of the late 19th century, where a blend of historical and contemporary influences resulted in decorative ceramic pieces. The "Covered Vase" is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to its artistic significance.
