Bone china vase and cover, moulded and decorated with a bird painting in enamel colours, over a pink and very pale green ground colour, and gilt. One of a pair.
Bone china, decorated with pink and very pale green ground colour, painting in polychrome enamels and gilding. The vases are moulded in two parts held together by a bolt. They have a circular base with three projecting stepped feet, an elongated ovoid body divided into three panels by projecting tapering pilasters, an almost flat shoulder and a cylindrical neck with a projecting rim. The domed cover has an elongated globular knob. The three side panels are decorated with one bird of prey perching on a branch, one peregrine falcon perching on a branch, two peregrine falcons perching on a branch, all with foliage in the background. The cover, shoulders and feet are decorated with three large pink panels and three narrow pale green panels edged by gilding. The panels on the body are bordered by pink ground colour dotted in gold, and the outside of the pilasters are pale green with gold edging. A pair with C.6.2 & A-1995
