I have mentioned before in this blog the influence of the Aesthetic Movement on the majolica designs of American and English majolica.
The lily and the sunflower both were representative of the movement but the sunflower in particular has always been the flower most people associate with it. More than anyone else, Oscar Wilde is responsible for the popularity of the movement in both the US and in Great Britain as can be see by some of the decorative arts from the period.
