Two Birds perhaps Finches, perched in a Tree
Factory: Bow Porcelain Manufactory
Figure. Soft-paste porcelain slip-cast and lead-glazed. The underside has a depression in the centre and some glaze, and a large circular ventilation hole, which has been plugged, possibly with felt. The wavy-edged 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. Low down in the back of the trunk there is a circular hole to take an attachment and a small hole between the branches at the top. The tree trunk is bedecked with flowers and foliage. A hound sits on the left of the tree. On the base at the back there are two separate flowers and leaves, and one flower and leaves by the hound's feet.
