Dogwood Vase
John Bennett
1882
This baluster-form ceramic vase features English-born Art Potter John Bennett’s signature naturalistic underglaze decoration, depicting crisply rendered dogwood branches laden with large white blossoms with pink-tinged tips and green leaves, with thin black outlines, against a variegated dark ground. This vase was produced in Bennett’s New York City studio around 1882, shortly before before he retired to West Orange, New Jersey in 1883.
A vase by Bennett with related Dogwood blossom decoration dating from 1882 is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2020.64.4); a second related vase from the same year with similar Dogwood motif is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (2009.6).
Height: 8 inches (20.3 cm)
