About this work

Four-sided porcelain vase with sculpted corners and four claw feet resting on a base. Painted on the glaze in blue, salmon and gold. On the walls, against a blue background, twice a medallion with shell shapes with flowers cut out in a salmon background and twice a garland carried by (horse?) heads, above which a bird. Between these decorations vines. On the rim a band with vines and diamond motifs. The side of the base with leaf vines against a blue background and on the top a similar decoration as on the rim against a salmon background. Also the removable upper part of the vase has the same decoration, five holes and a decagonal head shape decorated with garlands and flower heads and with an open bottom.
