EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this exquisite handmade Christmas card from the late 1890s, featuring a beautiful vase design. The intricately cut vase shape is adorned with a stunning blue and white oriental design, reminiscent of Japanese art from the era. Four spills, or compartments, grace the base of the vase, each containing handwritten seasonal greetings. The women who crafted this card meticulously used a lighter or lighters to create the delicate foliage and leaf designs, adding to the card's charm and elegance. This card, with its pretty vase design, is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the Victorian era. The use of handwritten greetings adds a personal touch, making each card a unique work of art. The vase shape not only adds to the card's aesthetic appeal but also serves as a holder for small gifts or keepsakes. The blue and white color palette, popular during the Victorian era, is calming and evocative of the winter season. The oriental design, with its intricate patterns and delicate lines, is a nod to the East and the historical exchange of cultural influences between Europe and Asia. This handmade Christmas card is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and tradition of the holiday season. Its intricate design and personal touch make it a cherished keepsake, worthy of display long after the festivities have passed.
