DescriptionShort, white, parian porcelain vase in the shape of a right hand holding aloft a plant draped with lilies of the valley. The wrist, forming the base of the vase, has a lacy cuff. The long fingers of the hand, with a ring of the ring finger, widen to hold the plant at its widest point, before narrowing slightly to form the jagged edge of the rim. There are two irregular mold lines that run down each side of the hand and vase.
