Art Nouveau designers would look to nature for inspiration and the more romantic or mysterious the better. The Pasque wild flower, now a very rare plant in Western Europe, is steeped in myth. It flowers at Easter, so is known as the 'anemone of Passiontide' while legend says it sprang up in places that had been soaked by the blood of Romans or Danes because they often appeared on old barrows and boundary banks
Dish height: 13cm
