The vase draws its inspiration fromt he 19th century Arts andCrafts movement, with its renewed appreciation of nature and the celebration of craftsmanship.
The detailed ornamented vines are reproduced fro the archive and the golden bird is taken from the impressive William Hackwood "Birds on Nest' plaque dated 1818. The piece is finished by a decorative border of Wedgwood's unique knurling technique, gilded to enhance the beautiful textural patterns.
