label: Description
content: Vase with two swans. The swans sit on the shoulder of the vase: their wings extend upward past the lip of the vase, their heads attach to a decorative band at the body, and their necks form small handles. The vase is decorated with a swirling acanthus leaf pattern on the neck, and leaf-shaped gadrooning on the body. The vase has a short, tapered foot, and is elevated on a platform that extends to the edge of the image. The plate is signed and numbered.
