Vase with "Old Bogey" pattern 1862 - 1872

This porcelain vase, designed by Christopher Dresser in the late 19th century, exemplifies the aesthetic principles of the Arts and Crafts movement. Its cylindrical form and stylized, geometric "Old Bogey" pattern, featuring butterflies and tridents, emphasize a return to hand-crafted design and a rejection of mass-produced industrial goods. The gold and black accents create a luxurious yet restrained visual appeal, making this vase a perfect example of Dresser's distinctive style and influence on the decorative arts.
