This vernal vase combines the finest in modelling art with consummate porcelain painting in a most highly virtuoso manner. Porcelain painter Holger Schill carries the vase's hand-modelled birds and flowers over into an enamelled decorative scheme rendered naturalistically. The upshot is a profusion of springtime delights that include delicate apple blossom, some of it moulded, some painted, harbingers of spring such as narcissi and liverwort, plus the first insects to partake of Nature's splendid spring feast.
