Vase 1877 - 1885

This ceramic vase, crafted by T.J. Wheatley & Company between 1877 and 1885, is a stunning example of Victorian era decorative arts. The piece features a brown-glazed body adorned with three-dimensional, hand-painted floral appliques that bring a sense of depth and realism to the design. The delicate pink and white flowers, with their intricate details, contrast beautifully with the lush green leaves, creating a vibrant and elegant composition. The vase is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
