- About this work
-
The lush, romantic floral painting of this vase was executed by Edward Raby, a flower painter who specialised in roses and who was one of the Doulton factory’s most talented decorators. Raby made detailed studies of floral specimens to be translated into porcelain painting; however, his finished decorations are less interested in botanical accuracy than in soft and muted effects, often influenced by Japanese art.
