Description: | Public:
Moulded flattened octagonal baluster-shaped vase, buff earthenware with a white tin-glaze and painted cobalt blue with orientally inspired decoration of a boy fishing.
Private:
One of a pair of garniture vases, flattened octagonal baluster-shape with integral relief moulded C-scrolls, flared foot and short straight neck and rim. Almost white tin-glaze with painted in-glaze cobalt blue decoration. Central vignette, covering front of vase, shows a boy (possibly Chinese) leaning against a rocky outcrop surmounted by a basket of flowers, fishing. To the left a large European ship sails across the water and three birds fly overhead. Scene painted in shades of blue with a dark blue 'trek' outline, and sponged sky, the whole scene surrounded by relief-moulded C-scrolls roughly painted in a strong blue. From this radiates sprigs of leaves and flowers and on the back of the vase an oriental type motif of reeds in water.
