# Vase \(Skoal\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CRANE, Walter]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Ceramic, painted in ruby red, height 24 cm ## Commentary The vase is inscribed Skoal \(Cheers!\). It was designed by Walter Crane and produced by Man & Cie. Crane was the personification of the artist-designer: he was a painter, graphic artist, illustrator, and book artist; he designed textiles, glass windows, ceramics, jewellery, and posters. He loved Florentine Quattrocento art, a love he shared with his friend Burne-Jones and was deeply impressed by the coloured woodcuts from Japan. ## Related artworks - [A Floral Fantasy in an Old English Garden: Dandelion]() - [A Floral Fantasy in an Old English Garden: Front page]() - [A Masque for the Four Seasons]() - [Aladdin or the Wonderful Lamp]() - [Beauty and the Beast: Front page]() - [Beauty and the Beast: illustration]() - [Britomart]() - [La Primavera]() - [Neptune's Horses]() - [Renascence of Venus]() - [Shakespeare's Tempest: Title page]() - [The Advent of Spring]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
