Fabulous hand painted porcelain vase. Fabulous enameled cockatiel/parrots as shown. Some rubbing to gilt, mostly on handles otherwise appears good. No chips, cracks or repairs.....a small scratch inside base. Porcelain rings if tapped. I really have no idea what the original purpose was.....a small vase is what it is now though. Jeweled interior top rim. Not marked, but I dont think there is any doubt it is Minton. About 4 5/8" handle to handle tip.....about 3" tall. A great c1870-ish example. Not crazed. item#22321.2mc74
