Vase 1875 - 1880

This "Vase" is a decorative ceramic piece produced by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company in England between 1875 and 1880. It's a testament to the popularity of Asian-inspired art during the Victorian era, featuring a scene of figures engaged in a task, likely a scene from Chinese life. The use of gold and intricate details in the decoration highlight the craftsmanship of the company and the interest in exotic themes during that time. This vase is currently housed in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
