again featuring a Chinese vase,
the vase, described as being of 'the highest quality', is painted with delicate cobalt blue designs of birds perched on a prunas branch - a popular theme for porcelain painters, the theme remained popular through the Ming dynasty - 1368 to 1644 - and was revived for the Qing dynasty - 1644 to 1912, for me a great story, but it makes me wonder how many other treasures are out there waiting to be taken out in a carrier bag?
