清十九世紀 廣彩開光花鳥人物蓮口瓶

each of pear-shaped form, rising to a wide molded lotus-form mouth, intricately painted in famille-rose enamels with panels containing lush flowers, birds and insects, or lively scenes of courtiers and attendants, all against a gilt ground enameled with a green foliate pattern (2)

There is one section of the lotus petal which has been broken and held by a piece of tape, with an adjacent chip. There is typical scratching and loss to enamels overall.
