Did You Know?

The designer Bernard Moore studied Asian and Islamic ceramics. He was especially interested in glazes like the vivid red one on this vase that resembles the color of oxblood.
A tapered cream porcelain vessel flares at its red rim with vibrant red motifs. A large fish with detailed fins and scales swims upward across the body. Stylized waves wrap around the base, while clusters of small, circular bubble-like patterns float in the surrounding space. Thick, swirling red forms decorate the neck and shoulders, echoing the aquatic theme in bold red against the smooth surface.
