The Omega Workshops were established by Roger Fry in London in 1913. Artists such as Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell decorated ceramics, but Fry insisted on the anonymity of the artist. This vase has an imported, industrially-produced body, and the condition of the enamels are an indication of the inexperience of the painter as a decorator of porcelain.
