Summary
Small size specimen baluster vase in hard paste porcelain. Hand painted in overglaze famille rose enamel colours with various blossom, butterflies and birds. Red line painted around base.
Provenance
Darby collection. Given to Lady Labouchere by her grandmother, Alice Mary Darby, as a child, along a small wall-mounted cabinet and small collection of different pieces of porcelain. This follows a tradition begun by Lady Labouchere's great uncles with the desire to inspire the children to acquire the eye of a collector.
