Alongside Eibar, Toledo was one of the primary centres of the 19th-century Nasrid revival in Spain. The small scale of the present vase emphasizes the exceptional quality of its damascening and may have served as a model for larger examples. Comparable vases on the larger scale were sold in these Rooms, 25 April 2013, lot 278 and at Sotheby's London, 24 October 2012, lot 290.
