AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Dimensions: H 35.5 cm, diameter 13.5 cm
A matched pair with original domed covers and pearl finials. Slender baluster form, tapering to the foot.

Decoration: A colourful parrot perched on a suspended swing perch with cherry sprigs. The neck is painted with an iron-red pomegranate flower. Fine gilded outlines. This exotic bird design was commissioned for the Dutch East India Company.

Design origin: The motif derives from 16th-century engravings by Adriaen Collaert, later linked to the design circle of Cornelis Pronk. The pattern was used on Meissen porcelain and Delft faience before being sent to Jingdezhen.
