Zebra and Snake Spill Vase

A wonderful flatback spill vase modelled as a charmingly naive zebra being constricted by a large, green snake. The hollow tree in the background of the scene forms the vase. A crisp moulding and very well decorated.

Circa 1860

Approx - 7.5 inches (190mm) tall.

In very good original condition save a firing crack to rear of base and typical, minor paint losses.
