Description from the seller
Magnificent fine porcelain collection vase, made in 1981 by Franklin Porcelain / Franklin Mint, after a design by the famous British animal artist Basil Ede, renowned for his remarkable representations of birds.
Model: The Garden Bird Vase – Basil Ede – Limited Edition – 1981
This superb collectible piece depicts stunning hummingbirds in flight, moving among delicate fuchsia flowers in vibrant colors. It testifies to Basil Ede's exceptional talent for reproducing the beauty, finesse and movement of birds in their natural environment.
The vase features an elegant slender silhouette in bright white porcelain, enhanced by a sumptuous polychrome decoration portraying several hummingbirds with iridescent green plumage, finely detailed wings, and a bright red throat.
The birds are surrounded by magnificent red and pink fuchsia flowers, with delicately reproduced green foliage. The floral and animal compositions extend harmoniously across the different faces of the vase, offering a particularly refined decor from every angle.
The neck is outlined with an elegant gold rim, adding an extra precious touch to this nature-inspired creation.
This piece belongs to a limited Franklin Porcelain edition devoted to Basil Ede's avian art and the beauty of garden birds.
The underside bears the original inscriptions:
