- Note
- From record: Part of original CTRA collection. This object reflects the artistic qualities and craftsmanship of the Aesthetic Movement (1870-1900) which fostered the notion of "art for art's sake". Hand-made crafts were popular, and function was less important than artistic expression and beauty. Japan opened trade and had a strong influence on Euro-American art.
