Vase 1878 - 1882

John Bennett's "Vase" (1878-1882) is a pair of small ceramic vessels decorated with vibrant floral motifs. The left vase features a yellow background with delicate white and pink blossoms on a leafy green branch, while the right vase boasts a deep blue background with larger, white blossoms. These miniature works, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplify the artistic tendencies of the late 19th century, where nature was a prominent source of inspiration and intricate details were celebrated.
