Vase 1893 - 1923

This ceramic vase, titled "Vase" and created by William J. Walley between 1893 and 1923, is a beautiful example of the Arts and Crafts movement in American ceramics. The vase's bulbous form and the stylized floral motifs carved into its surface demonstrate the movement's emphasis on handcrafted beauty and natural forms. The vase is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The simple, yet elegant design makes this piece a standout example of American Art Pottery.
