Bulb Vase (one of a pair)

Minton(s) British
 Decorator Alboin Birks

Not on view

This pair of vases by Mintons are based on a model developed at Sèvres in the eighteenth century. Their manufacture just before the turn of the twentieth century points to Victorian England’s fascination with the revival of historical styles such as the French Rococo, a topic studied by the early feminist author Emilia Dilke.
