The vase features a bulbous body, a gracefully elongated neck, and a domed, pierced cover, creating a harmonious and decorative silhouette.

Standing 17" tall with a 3-1/2" diameter base and a 6.5" diameter at its widest point, this piece is marked on the underside with the initials L.K.F. 1889 in enamel paint and the incised number 1085. While the exact maker is unidentified, the style is reminiscent of American pottery from the late 1800s, such as Faience Manufacturing or Edward Lycett.

In good condition for its age, the vase shows light crazing, glaze imperfections, and hairline cracks on the base, as documented in the photos. These minor flaws do not detract from its overall beauty and historical significance.

The Aesthetic Movement, known for its "art for art’s sake" philosophy, encouraged artistic expression through beautiful and harmonious designs. This vase, with its intricate detailing and cultural influences, is a wonderful addition to any collection of antique pottery or Aesthetic Movement decor.
