The work and its context

The museum's open-access catalogue describes the work:

This vase's distinctive metallic sheen is achieved through a technique known as luster glazing, in which ground metals, typically silver, gold, or platinum, are incorporated into the glazing process. A green-gold luster glaze forms the vase's decoration of vines and leaves.
