An Extremely RARE, KNOWLES, TAYLOR & KNOWLES Lotus Ware Large Hand Painted Jardiniere, Signed & Dated by the Artist. This is a Book Piece....featured very similar to page 39 of the "Knowles, Taylor & Knowles American Bone China" book by Timothy J. Kearns. Also similar to the Fern Painted Jardiniere on page 57 of the "Collector's Encyclopedia of Knowles, Taylor & Knowles China" by Mary Frank Gaston. This exquisite Jardiniere is 14" long (Handle to handle) and 5 1/2" high. It features stunning hand painted flowers (appear to be peonies) in shades of pink, red and yellow with green leaves. It has rough textured branch style handles decorated in gold. It is a deep rounded bowl with a ruffled edge mouth also dipped in gold. This is in unbelievable condition - only has one tiny nick on one of the ruffles (shown in the last photo)...barely negligible! This is a very rare example of KTK Lotus Ware at its best in mint condition - it doesn't get any better than this!!Please refer to the pictures for more details and contact me with any questions. From a smoke-free home.
