Porcelain Vase with Wildlife Motif

This is a porcelain vase, likely ceramic, featuring a hand-painted or decal-applied wildlife scene. The vase has a classic, slightly flared neck, a bulbous body that tapers towards the base, and a gently rounded foot. Its primary color is a glossy white, providing a bright canvas for the decorative motif. The rim of the vase and a subtle band near the base are adorned with a thin gold-colored line, suggesting a decorative trim detail. The central decoration depicts a naturalistic outdoor scene with a small bird, possibly a 'Wagtail' or similar species with a yellow breast and gray back, perched on what appears to be a stone or small mound next to a body of water. Surrounding the bird and water are lush green grasses, delicate yellow wildflowers, and taller, dried reeds or wheat stalks. On the opposite side, or possibly wrapping around, there are branches with small pinkish-white blossoms, typical of a spring or early summer scene. The overall style suggests a decorative, possibly collectible, piece from the mid-20th century onwards, often found in 'cottagecore' or traditional home decor. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear detailing in the artwork. No obvious chips, cracks, or repairs are visible from the provided image, but a thorough inspection would be required to confirm its pristine condition. The vase rests on a separate, flat, circular black wooden or plastic base, which elevates it slightly and provides stability. This base seems to be a common accessory for decorative vases, giving them a more finished look.
