While Mildred Lovett was living in Hobart, Lucien Dechaineux encouraged her to study china-painting. In 1909 when she returned to Sydney, she came under Long’s influence and created this vase, with an Art Nouveau decoration based on Long’s missing painting Pastoral 1909. It was first shown in the ‘Society of Artists exhibition’ 1909 (237, as ‘Vase, designed by Mr. Sid Long, painted by Miss Lovett’).
