A striking piece of English Aesthetic Movement ceramic artistry, this cobalt-ground baluster vase captures the Japonisme craze that swept British potteries in the 1870s and 1880s. Rich hand-applied gold sponging drifts across the deep blue ground, framing cream reserve panels where a bird in flight, wings raised in blue, green, and rust, soars above a spray of burgundy fern fronds. Powder-blue scrollwork separates these panels from a field of raised white enamel florals, each petal edged in gold. On the reverse, a hand-painted dragonfly hovers among bamboo-like leaves, a nod to the Japanese design vocabulary so admired by Victorian taste.
This is a vase meant to be picked up and turned in the hand, not simply glanced at from across the room. The raised bird, the raised florals, the raised scrollwork borders, all speak to a maker unwilling to let a busy pattern sit flat. It would anchor a mantel or cabinet beautifully on its own, and it is exactly the kind of object that rewards a closer look.
