Vase 1882 - 1892

This small, yet striking, "Vase" was crafted by the Chelsea Keramic Art Works between 1882 and 1892. The piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases a vibrant red and purple glaze, creating a mesmerizing, almost iridescent effect. This technique of layering and blending colors to achieve unique textures and shades was popular during the late 19th century, demonstrating the artistic exploration of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The vase stands as a testament to the Chelsea Keramic Art Works' skilled craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of ceramic art.
