Vase 1884

This "Vase" was crafted in 1884 by Crown Derby, a renowned English porcelain manufacturer. The piece is an example of the company's exquisite craftsmanship, showcasing intricate floral patterns in gold against a backdrop of green and brown. The use of elaborate gilding and delicate floral motifs reflects the stylistic trends of the Victorian era. The vase's design showcases the influence of East Asian aesthetics, particularly Japanese art, on European decorative arts in the late 19th century. Currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the "Vase" stands as a testament to Crown Derby's legacy of artistic excellence.
