Cheery vase with delicate and colorful paintings of a bird and flowers. The color contrasts on the white glass are striking.The paintings are very realistic with contrasts, line quality, and shading, and the colors are vivid and fresh. The bird is especially well painted even down to the little dotted feathers around the eye. The flower stamens in the centers of the blossoms are raised giving depth. The composition of the picture is good going from the dark leaves to the dark bird. The back has no painting .A white translucent glass vase cuts in from the wide mouth to a wide rounded shoulder.
