Hand Painted Bird of Prey Scene. Lots of gold. 13-3/4" tall. Has the following defects:
(1) Has a harline crack on the base, running upward 2-1/2" long.
(2) Small nick beside the bird's talon (can be hidden with some touchup)
(3) Bottom curl on one of the handles is broken off.
The vase is stamped on the bottom with Chinese characters, GYIN, and I think made in China. The design has triangle and tear-drop holes and therefore it is not suitable to hold water or as an urn.
