Pair of vases 1879 - 1889

This pair of vases, crafted by Haviland & Co. between 1879 and 1889, showcases the artistry of French ceramic production. The vases, standing at 9 3/4 inches tall, feature a deep, rich burgundy glaze with delicate floral patterns carved into the surface. The contrasting white glaze on the rim adds a subtle elegance. The vases are a testament to the popularity of Chinoiserie during this period, with their design evoking the aesthetic of Chinese ceramics. Currently residing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, these vases offer a glimpse into the craftsmanship and cultural influences of late 19th-century art.
