EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting, titled "Bottle-shaped Vase" by American artist James Callowhill, dates back to the late 19th century, around 1889-1896. Commissioned by the renowned collector William T. Walters, this artwork was created to serve as a model for color lithographs used to illustrate "Oriental Ceramic Art," a catalog of Walters' extensive Chinese porcelain collection. The intricately detailed vase, with its elongated neck and bulbous body, is depicted in vibrant red and shiny glaze against a pristine white background. The close-up perspective allows the viewer to appreciate the exquisite texture and craftsmanship of the ceramic piece. The vase's bottle shape, a popular design during the late 1800s, adds to its allure, making it a desirable addition to any collection of antique homeware. The painting, executed in watercolor on paper, showcases Callowhill's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the Chinese porcelain art form. The rich red hue and glossy finish of the vase are rendered with remarkable accuracy, transporting the viewer to a time when such intricate ceramics were highly valued for their beauty and rarity. This artwork, a testament to the artistic heritage of the United States during the 19th century, is a must-have for any serious collector of antique art or Chinese ceramics. The Bottle-shaped Vase by James Callowhill is not only a visual delight but also a historical artifact that adds character and charm to any space it occupies.
