Vase 1876 - 1880

This ceramic vase, created by the Chelsea Keramic Art Works between 1876 and 1880, is a striking example of the Arts and Crafts movement in ceramics. The piece features a bold, three-dimensional design of sunflowers and foliage in a rich green glaze, with a whimsical frog handle. The vase is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The simple form and natural motifs highlight the beauty of handcrafted objects and reflect the artistic ideals of the period.
