Vase with dogwood blossoms
John Bennett
1882 · Earthenware · The American Wing
John Bennett had headed the division of Lambeth Faience at the Doulton Pottery in England before immigrating to the United States in 1877 and setting up his own workshops in New York City. His work is dominated by floral decoration in a highly decorative mode, harking back to his days at Doulton, with the use of colored oxides. Here, the artist has painted striking pink and white dogwood blossoms and foliage on a brilliant deep mustard-colored background.
