The translucent base, achieved through the steaked white interior, gives depth to the overall composition. The gilded handles with a quatrefoil design are highlighted by subtle gold accents. The gilding at the base and the mouth of the vase creates a lovely balance.
Reflecting the Japanese influence that characterized the Aesthetic Movement, the vase is shaped like a traditional pilgrim’s flask, with its distinctive flat sides and short neck. A perfect blend of form and decoration, this piece is a stunning example of late 19th century artistic craftsmanship.
