Description:
English delft vase decorated in cobalt blue on one side with a bird perched on a large flower with scrolling leaves, and on the other with a bird perched on a sprig. The beaker-shaped vase has a flaring mouth that tapers to a narrower waist and then spreads to a molded base that is decorated with blue bands. There are two labels on the base: the previous owner's label reads "A-970/RORS", and the dealer's label reads "Garry Atkins". Some chips are present on the rim of the vase.
