the depressed globular body, supported on a gilt-bronze spreading foot, rises to a long, straight, cylindrical neck set with two tubular handles. The vase is decorated with scrolling flowers, including pink and aster, above a wave band around the foot, all in white, red, yellow and deep green enamels on a turquoise ground.
