Bottle vase (one of a pair). Hard-paste porcelain painted in green, yellow, iron-red, turquoise, aubergine and blue enamels with details in black and gilding. The spherical body is mounted by a tall, slightly tapered cylindrical neck, decorated overall with floral scrollwork; the six-petalled blooms are in various colour combinations borne on delicate thin meandering stems in black with numerous long pointed leaves in green shading to yellow at the tips. There is a stippled aubergine band round the shoulders reserved with floral and pomegranate scrolls with an aubergine-ground green and red cell-diaper border beneath the mouth. The rims are mounted in gilt-metal.
