It's been somewhat of a coincidence to have two/three white satin Bohemian bird vases in one week! Here is another example of a mis-atributed pretty bird vase, described as 'Chinese' on my favourite auction site. Seller did not want to post, he lived on the South Coast of the UK, a round trip of 600 miles for me, so clearly a no go. I wrote to him and suggested that if he was prepared to post, I would buy/bid. I didn't hear back - no one bid. So, re-listed, he wrote back and said he would post and added the extra cost of a few quid, I bid, I was all on my own with no competition. Harrach, slightly faded feather mark to the base, 9.5" tall
wow this is a hell of a piece and in such good condition
Hey, thanks for the comment apostata, and yes it is in very good condition - so much better than the seller's terrible pics.

Oh Phil, this is gorgeous. The birds are so beautifully enameled. I am so glad it all worked out for you in the end!
Is it only Harrach or do all Bohemian birds have such fearsome looking beaks? Beautiful vase though.
Bohemian birds always seem to have such fearsome looking beaks? Beautiful vase though.
Hi Michelle, when it arrived I was amazed how much better it was - seller's pics were awful.
Hi Peggy - I think Riedel's are the most fearsome of all Bohemian birds!
