A gorgeous little Royal Crown Derby porcelain vase and cover, of inverted baluster form, with domed cover with pagoda shape knop and deep curved inner flange. Hand painted in a classic imari inspired pattern known as the Witches pattern, a striking design with alternating panels of rich underglaze blue reserving white and iron red flowers on a scrolling gilt vine, and an exotic flowering plant painted on the white ground in red and green enamel, gilt and underglaze blue. The white panels flow over the blue ones to create an elegant flow to the design. The border frieze around the neck, and to the cover, are sections of underglazed blue, intersected with white and gilt lines, with alternating reserved designs of flowers and diamonds in red and gilt. Finished with a gilt castellated band underneath, and further gilt decoration to the foot, rims and knop. Both cover and base marked with the company stamp and date cipher for 1924, painted model/shape number 1339 over pattern number 6299, and decorator's mark.
It measures 11.5cm (4 1/2") high and 7cm (2 3/4") wide.
In perfect condition.
