Nice c1835 English Georgian Masons Ironstone Flying Bird Chinoiserie Vase 8"

$150.00

Presented is an excellent quality antique Mason's ironstone china vase, dating to circa 1835-1840. This vase is made in the highly sought after Flying Bird pattern, which is a vibrant and colorful Chinoiserie pattern depicting a long tailed bird in flight surrounded by stunning flowers and foliage. The palette is a very eye-catching array of blues, greens, orange, purple and pink shades, with fine gold gilt detailing. This pattern was first produced by Davenport circa 1815, but would go on to be made by Mason's as well as other fine English makers. We have many additional pieces in this pattern from the same estate including some particularly rare examples, which you can find by searching “Flying Bird” in our store.

This piece is in great condition, particularly considering age. There is some cracklature to the glaze here and there. There are no chips, no cracks, no breaks, and no repairs.

The underside is stamped with the Mason's Patent Ironstone China mark, as well as an incised number 62. The mark is exceptionally clear and legible.

The vase stands about 8 inches tall at measures about 5 1/8 inches in diameter at the widest point. -jm
