This Royal Worcester vase is a bit unusual in that it is in the shape of a drawstring purse. The body is embossed with Japanese motifs that are highlighted by gilding and set off by the pink drawstring. It features the Worcester mark incorporating the name of the retailer, Thomas Goode and Son. It stands 152mm high and is 127mm in diameter. It has a few tiny scratches to the green ground and there is some loss of the gilding to the rim-otherwise there are no other faults. C 1880.
