Tea Caddy ‘Wild Carnations’
The technique used to make this container is traditional, but the pigments are new: pink and a novel shade of red. They have been used to create the subtle tones of wild carnations. The representation is loose and painterly. The tea caddy was exhibited at the Salon of 1927. After years of being denied access to these art exhibitions, lacquer art was finally allowed to participate from that year onwards.
