Lot Essay

See C. Gere and M. Whiteway, 19th-Century Design from Pugin to Mackintosh, London, 1993, p. 203, where the authors suggest that the vase was modelled in imitation of contemporary Japanese pottery and relates to a baluster pot made in about 1870 at the Miyagawa Kozan workshop in Yokohama (with similar raised and glazed decoration), bought for the South Kensington Museum in 1879.
