Description
A Paris porcelain vase 1st half 19th century, London-decorated perhaps at the Sims workshop with three doves at repose in a grassy landscape, the reverse with a basket of flowers including rose, hollyhock, convolvulus, tulip and lilac, the cover pierced with moons and stars and scattered with single pink roses, 26.2cm.
The floral decoration and gilding is very similar to that on the Burdett-Coutts service of Swansea porcelain, also thought to have been decorated in the Sims workshop.
