Fluted reserves with etched gilded borders each side depicting exotic asiatic style birds in glorious rich colours against a a wooded background. The fineness of the painting is exquisite. Ornate moulded side handles with gilded detail, and gilded bands encircle the stepped rim and foot. A really superb quality piece.
