Bone china decorated in the Kashmir style with enamel jewelling and gilding reserved on areas of pale pink and turquoise ground colour; bulbous bottle shape with gilt twisted and knotted rope handle. One of a pair.
Bone china decorated with pale pink and turquoise ground colours, dark puce enamel, jewelling in turquoise, red, and white enamels, and gilding. The bottle stands on a small circular foot which is slightly concave underneath. It has a bulbous lower part rising into a slender cylindrical neck and has a handle formed by two adjacent ropes with a knot near the top, and another at the lower end. The foot, the handle, and the inside of the neck are gilded overall. The upper and lower parts of the body have a turquoise ground decorated with jewelled plants at intervals. Between them is an area of pink ground decorated with interlacing gold straps with white beading enclosing jewelled quatrefoil motifs, crosses and flowerheads. This zone is separated from the turquoise ground below by a horizontal band of dark puce enamel overlaid by gold flowerheads and pairs of buds or leaves with jewelled centres. A similar band runs round the mouth.
