Description

Hard-paste porcelain vase, moulded and glazed.

Hard-paste porcelain vase, moulded and glazed. From the square base rises a circular, spreading foot with a laurel leaf border and headed collar, above which is an ovoid body with a narrow neck with concave sides and vertical lip. On opposing sides of the body is an architectural motif (?), from which descend on each side swigs of laurel looped up to join the body. The body, foot and base are held together by a brass screw and nut.
