I found this vase at a yard sale in California. Paid a minimal fee. I am a vase collector and am looking to sell some of my best collections to those who can appreciate it.
This vase has hand painted bamboo, and different types of plants as well as birds on it. Everything painted, is trimmed with gold, and has clusters of gold "clouds" on it.
This is a very beautiful vase.
Naturally in the representation of scenes of love and frivolity, the decorative
surroundings or frame work was treated lightly. The Rococo details, which to-
gether with the naturalistic treatment of floral forms, garden emblems, with the shepherdess and doves shown in the vista, present a favorit style of design
,which give lasting imprint to this period.
It looks like the shield crest on the bottom as well as the number 14 34 are acid etched on the base. It looks possibly like it says Rockwell inside the shield crest? Really hard to read it's so small and the base has minor wear and may have been buffed out some in the making? I would love any info on this item that anyone could provide!
if the links below dont. work for the pics I will put direct links below them.
