Two Birds perhaps Finches, perched in a Tree
Factory: Bow Porcelain Manufactory
Figure. Soft-paste porcelain, slip-cast, with applied moulded details and lead-glaze. The underside is unglazed and has a central circular ventilation hole which has been filled with a brown substance. The wavy-edged oval base has a central tree trunk with a short curved branch at the front, and two branches at the top, on each of which there is a bird. At the back of the trunk there is a square hole to take an attachment, and between the branches there is a smaller circular hole. A fruiting vine creeps up the tree trunk and there are applied flowers and leaves at the top. A hound sits to the left of the tree. On the base there are two separate applied flowers and leaves oat the back, a small spray on the right of the front, a long trailing spray across the front, and a flower and leaves by the hound's feet.
