Context:

This vase of cream-colored earthenware features underglaze decoration of pink and white dogwood branches and flowers on a yellow background. An unusual feature in Bennett's work, the mottled background is further ornamented with a stylized sprig design of the same hue, yet in a different tone, reminiscent of wallpaper designs for the Aesthetic Movement. This is one of the rare examples of Bennett's work where he has signed the piece on the body of the vase, a probable expression of the value he placed on the work. The uppermost rim is decorated with mottled blue, green, and black glazes, simulating semiprecious stone.
