Vase 1882 - 1890

This porcelain vase, created by the American art pottery firm Ott and Brewer between 1882 and 1890, features a pink glaze with gold detailing, depicting a flying crane and dandelion motifs. The intricately pierced handles and delicate floral design reflect the artistic sensibilities of the late 19th century, showcasing the growing popularity of Japonisme in American art. Currently residing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this decorative piece represents a prime example of the artistry and craftsmanship prevalent in American ceramics during this period.
