A collection of four porcelain and glass vases of varying forms and styles. The group includes a Chinese style baluster-form porcelain vase decorated in hand-painted polychrome enamels. The body features a continuous scene of four female figures in traditional attire within a garden setting, flanked by large birds with blue and yellow plumage, while the neck displays a smaller vignette of figures seated at a table. The piece is further embellished with floral sprays and scrolling ruyi-head borders at the rim and foot. The underside of the porcelain base carries a hand-painted mark in black ink, consisting of a stylised three-pronged device above a horizontal bar and a cross-like symbol. The lot further comprises three glass vases: a faceted smoked amber-coloured glass vase of compressed diamond form; a tall purple amethyst-coloured glass teardrop vase; and a flattened clear glass disc-form vase with a subtle green tint, provided with a separate white-painted cradle stand.
