For Sale, from my collection - (Seeadditional listings for more pieces of Pickard China and American Hand Painted Porcelain fromKeramic Studio and other parts of this collection this week and in coming weeks.) An gorgeous example of and American made hand painted porcelain vase - with blue birds and loads of gold in a band around a black form. Painted in 1923 by an American China Painter, Mrs. Dirkenson. This piece has great painting and form, the colors are very nice, condition is excellent with no chips dings or damage. Painted on an OE & G Austria blank.What I love about this piece is that it shows the very impact that the American China Painting movement had on the ladies who read the magazine Keramic Studio. The vase features a very traditional art nouveau styling. China painting was the rage from 1880 - 1930 in American when millions of women pursued this art form as a way of supporting their families. A nice piece to add to any collection because vases can be extremely hard to find when the design was done by a master artist like this one -- in great condition. A great addition to any collection of American Hand Painted porcelain. *A note about shipping: We enter our porcelain items based on the weight of 4 lbs and a large box, (for double boxing) shipped via UPS.
