The Metropolitan Museum of Art Chinese Peony Oversize Structured Tote
95,00 USD
Description
A Museum tote bag inspired by The Met collection. This sturdy tote with a collapsible base borrows its stylish motif from a Chinese vase crafted in the 11th-early 12th century during the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127) and now in The Met collection. The complicated technique used to decorate the Museum's vessel is often referred to as sgraffito, an Italian term meaning "scratched." Covered by a white slip followed by a black slip, the jar was carefully carved to reveal the eye-catching peony-scroll design adapted here.
