The Fancy Fox

Description

A pretty pair of small Coalport vases, shield shaped, set on a stepped, circular pedestal base, with incurved shoulders and shaped side handles. The body of the vases is filled with a mazarine blue ground with a large quatrefoil shaped reserve each painted with a Chelsea type bird in a landscape, signed by Fred Howard. The foot and neck sections are in a pale lemon ground with gilt vine decoration. Raised and beaded gilding frame the reserves and form an elaborate pattern to the reverse and further gilding to the handles, foot and rim and an unusual drip effect frieze around the upper edge of the blue ground. Factory mark to each, model number 134 and pattern number V.7631, c.1905-1910.

They measure 15cm (5 7/8") high and 7.5cm (3") wide across the handles.

In excellent condition with no damage, repair or restoration and minimal handling wear.
