The vase features two graceful handles, a pierced rim and Japanese inspired wisteria decoration.

Standing 12" tall with a 3" diameter base and a 6.5" diameter at its widest point, this piece is marked on the underside with a green underglaze crown over a double circled R. From a fine Boston estate, the exact maker is unidentified; the style is reminiscent of American and English pottery from the late 1800s.

In good condition for its age, the vase shows slight glaze imperfections, 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.
