Basket for Peonies

Japan

Not on view

The first collection of bamboo art given to The Met was a group of nearly eighty baskets bequeathed in 1891 by Edward C. Moore (1827–1891), the longtime artistic director and chief designer of silver manufacturing for Tiffany & Co., along with his extensive holdings of Japanese textiles, ceramics, and metalwork. This elegant early Meiji-period peony basket is one of the standout pieces of the collection.
