A SET OF THREE FAMILLE ROSE PEACOCKS
19TH CENTURY
Each elegant bird shown perched on a tall reticulated tree-trunk base molded and painted with branches of peony, the blossoms on one branch in white, those on the other branch in pink and the coloring of the blossoms reversed on the three figures, all three birds finely painted and detailed in delicately shaded famille rose enamels, the long tail feathers draped like a train down the length of the base painted in emerald green with blue centers encircled by iron-red and gilt borders, their fanned crests similarly painted, one molded on the interior with two four-character seal marks in raised characters, another with a single molded seal (one with some glaze flaking)
21in. (53.4cm.) high (3)
