16 x 10 Excellent pair of Bretby Japonist vases. After Japanese ports reopened to trade with the West in 1853, a tidal wave of foreign imports flooded European shores. On the crest of that wave were woodcut prints by masters of the ukiyo-e school which transformed Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art by demonstrating that simple, transitory, everyday subjects from the floating world could be presented in appealingly decorative ways. Some of the finest pottery evolved in he period.
