A good Swansea London-decorated vase, circa 1815-17

In French Empire style, the finely moulded handles with classical details picked out in gold, painted in London, probably in the workships of Robins and Randall, with a group of fishermen by a river, their nets drying in a tree beside them, the reverse with a flower spray, within a distinctive gilded border of shells and scrollwork, 25.8cm high (very slight wear to the gilding only)

Footnotes

The shape is one of a number of Swansea forms inspired by Paris porcelain. See A E (Jimmy) Jones and Sir Leslie Joseph, Swansea Porcelain Shapes and Decoration (1988), p. 123 for another example. The decoration is closely related to that found on Nantgarw porcelains of Mackintosh service type, especially the gilded border design and the small flowering plants painted on the base which are also found in the foreground of the central panel on Mackintosh pattern pieces.
