Large English Aesthetic Movement Vase

Porcelain : Antique : English Aesthetic Movement Vase

Beautifully decorated on all sides with large flowers and a large flying bird on the face side. The winged neck and flared base are both a deep Chinese red with heavy, applied, raised gold decoration which is also found as high points on the flowers. The two elaborate handles are also heavily gold gilded. Un-marked except for the English Registration mark for the year 1891 on the base. Fresh from a local Brooklyn estate. Good condition with light crackle to the glaze and some wear to the gilding on the base rim. 14 1/2" tall x 7 3/4" wide x 6" deep. $495
