Document source description
With its brilliant design and masterful craftsmanship, this bowl was certainly made to catch the eye of visitors to the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900—including William and Henry Walters. The design depicts yellow, pink, and purple chrysanthemums—a traditional flower of autumn—and their green foliage floating amid a pattern of curved waves. The translucency of the colored enamels (powdered glass) allows for light to pass through and illuminate them like stained glass.
