Vase 1893 - 1911

This "Vase" was made by Dedham Pottery between 1893 and 1911, and is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. This blue and white ceramic piece is a small example of the artistic pottery produced by the Dedham Pottery, which was a group of American artists who took inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement. The piece features a crackled glaze, which gives it a unique and rustic look. The vase is decorated with stylized floral motifs, a popular theme during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
