Beaded Beaker on a Foot
Factory: Spode
Bone china, painted with Middle Eastern figures in polychrome enamels, and gilded
Bone china, with applied beading, painted overglaze in blue, turquoise, shades of green, yellow, flesh-pink, brown, grey, and black enamels, and gilded. The trumpet-shaped vase, stands on an applied incurved foot. The side of the vase is decorated on the left with a tree stump and a funerary urn on a pedestal with a shield leaning against its side. To the right of it, a man wearing a hat, tunic and trousers is putting his arms around a fair-haired woman dressed in a long white dress, approached by a man wearing a turban, tunic and trousers, holding a dagger in his left hand. In the background there are several buildings, faintly painted in grey, and on the extreme right, a short brown tree stump. The foot is gilded overall and there are horizontal gold bands on the beaker above the foot, and below the rim. The white beading is applied around the outer edge of the foot, and the lower and upper edges of the beaker.
