Vintage John Derian Large Square Porcelain Lidded Jar with Birds and Foliage

About the Item

Oversized, square porcelain hand-painted lidded jar in the shape of a tea caddy by John Derian with birds after the 18th century biological illustrations of naturalist George Edwards, "father of British ornithology." Each side features a different bird using Derian's classic decoupage technique with cursive script background and hand-painted details. The lively illustrations burst with vibrant colors beautifully depicting each bird in vivid detail. Large both in size and vitality, this is an impressive statement piece that would be gorgeous in any room. It is in very good condition with no cracks or chips. Signed John Derian on the underside.
