This unusual Royal Worcester vase is shown in the Worcester list of shapes as a "Flower holder claw feet". It could also be described as a specimen vase. The upper part is encircled with a delicately hand coloured and gilded spray of dog roses and forget-me-nots, while the lower part features gilding to the moulded high points. The whole piece sits on three gilded claw feet. The gilder was George Topham Roberts (b 1845). He left the Royal Worcester factory in 1898 to move to James Hadley's factory in Worcester, as a foreman. The shape number is 1745 and this shape was first issued in 1894. The vase stands 232 mm (9 inches) high and measures 90 mm (3.75 inches) across the bowl. There is a tiny amount of wear to some of the gilding, but otherwise it is excellent condition. It carries the date mark for 1895.
