About the Item

A rare and pristine museum-quality antique bottle vase by John Bennett of New York, NY offers art pottery construction in bulbous bottle form with hand painted floral decoration and lid (very unusual to have the lid), artist signed and dated 1878 on base as photographed, 19th century. Measures- 8.5''H x 4''W x 4''D Historical Note: John Bennett (1840-1907) was a British ceramic artist who spent much of his career in America. He is known for decorative glazed earthenware with natural motifs. Bennett came from Burslem, Staffordshire.[1] In the 1870s, he was the director of the "Lambeth faience", that is, "art" stoneware, department at Doulton & Co. in London.[2] Around 1876, he immigrated to America and started his own ceramic business in New York City.[2] His work soon became sought-after for its high quality and painterly style.[3] He closed the New York business in 1882 and retired to a farm in West Orange, New Jersey, in part to spend more time with his family.[2] Pottery that he made at the farm is stamped "W. Orange - N.J.".[2] He also turned to painting and sketching and gave private art classes.[2] Bennett's pieces of glazed earthenware include vases and plates, often decorated with highly colored, asymmetrical designs of flowers and other motifs from nature. His style is influenced by oriental pottery, the Aesthetic Movement, and the Arts and Crafts movement.[2] His work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Brooklyn Museum, and numerous other museums and art institutions.[4] He married Mary Hall (1846–1928). He is buried in Rosedale Cemetery in West Orange with his wife and daughters Sarah and Mary.[1] (Wikipedia).
