A ROZENBURG TWO-HANDLED BALUSTER VASE 1914

by S. Schellink, painted on the front with a colorful songbird perched upon a leafy stem and on the reverse with a large spray of purple and blue poppies, painted factory mark, year code, decorator's mark and work order number 57. Some restoration.

The body is extensively oversprayed. A strong light reveals a restored crack running up in a curve from near the foot to just below the shoulder. Also another restored crack running horizontally around the body approximately 12 cm up from the foot. The two cracks were probably connected. The restoration is well done but is beginning to yellow very slightly. There may be other associated minor cracks but given the overspray it is impossible to be certain.
