Vase
A two-handled vase with a flared, scalloped rim and a blue ground covered in raised white roses, leaves and trailing stems. The neck carries a band of small painted blue and green flowers. The white relief is set against a deep cobalt body, giving strong contrast. The form is set on a plain grey backdrop.
Look closer: Small painted blue and green flowers in a lattice pattern on the neck, below the pink-edged rim.
