Vase and Cover

Shape:

Short, concave curved foot, the outer edge of which is slightly turned upwards; bulbously projecting body with flat shoulder, sunk slightly towards the base of the neck; contrasting cylindrical neck; high bell-shaped cover with overhanging horizontal rim and pointed oval knob.

Décor:

On a stylized rock, large Indian style flower twigs grow freely painted on the outside, in the branches a sitting bird with a backwards-facing head and a strong, long beak, holds on to the branches with only one leg; the neck of the vase is separated from the body by a gold line; on the neck small flowers; on the cover robust flowering branches and a bird similar to the one on the body; cover and foot rim decorated with gold line; around the knob's base a gold line, on the knob tip gold or other coloured brush strokes, alternating strokes.

Manufacturer's mark: underglaze blue AR monogram

Comments:

At the upper edge of the neck clearly visible defects in the glaze, which are to be considered as individual characteristics.
