Porcelain Vase with country scene

Specie of ceramic produced from a fine clay, quartz, feldspar and kaolin paste. Originally from China, this white, translucent, resistant and extremely versatile material revolutionized its distribution in European markets along the Silk Road. Marco Polo coined the term “porcellana” from the Italian porcellini, nickname for the shells found in the Venice's water.

Painted porcelain vase in conical shape, imitating the weave of a basket. On each side, two figures of crouched children in a position to lift the basket, with their torso naked. The figures and the vase are supported on an oval base, and the entire set is covered with applied rosebuds. The colors of the adornment are aged, with golden fillets. At the bottom, the inscription; "Austria – Anphora Turn Imperial"
