About this piece

Yellow, green, rust brown and cobalt blue stand out against a creamy ground. Gold accents catch the light.
The body is rounded and the neck short and flared. It gives the lively decoration a balanced setting.
The base is marked "Ruturo / Goedewaagen / Handpainted / Holland", with the letter H.
Condition
- Very fine crazing across the whole glaze
- Small dark speck in the glaze on the yellow body of the bird
- Slight wear to the brown rim
