A slender, ovoid Chinese porcelain vase with French gilt-bronze mounts, the original short neck removed. Painted round the sides are floral scrolls in white reserve on red. The gilt-bronze neck is decorated with a band of spreading stiff leaves, with a pounced ground and burnished edges. The vase sits in a berried laurel band on a hollow, square, gilt-bronze base, with concave corners and panelled sides with granulated ground.
Similar to RCIN 4664, which was formerly at the Royal Pavilion, Brighton.
