Vase 1879

John Bennett's "Vase" (1879) is a beautiful example of a ceramic vase with intricate floral decoration. The vase features a pale green background with a meticulously detailed design of yellow blossoms and pink flowers, all rendered with delicate brushstrokes. The overall effect is one of refinement and elegance, characteristic of the late 19th century, and highlights the ongoing popularity of the Art Nouveau aesthetic. The piece, now located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Bennett's mastery of ceramic art.
