Vase with flowering plants in relief c. 1900

This is a porcelain vase adorned with flowering plants in relief, made by Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur. The vase has a milky white surface, decorated with plants that protrude slightly, creating a tactile experience as well as visual interest. The colour palette is restrained, mostly white, with touches of pale green and brown, giving the vase a serene, almost ethereal quality. The structure is intriguing because it merges the functional with the ornamental. Note how the applied botanical forms aren't merely decorative; they interact with the vase's shape, emphasizing its volume and contours. The relief work invites a dialogue about the relationship between art and nature, form and function. The botanic motif also evokes the historical context, reflecting an interest in naturalism. In closing, observe how the subtle colour variations and the play of light on the raised surfaces underscore the vase's three-dimensionality. It's more than just a vessel, it is an exploration of form that integrates aesthetic values and historical context into a single object.
