German style gilt and hand painted porcelain vase. Protruding 'ears' at side, leaf shape and design. Top has flower at center with drooped leaves. At center of vase on front, pink and white roses with green leaves, blue and orange daisy-like flowers painted on. Made in Pirkenhammer, Germany (then Bohemia).
Vase was broken in three places at the back of the vase and repaired at some point in its history. Repair seems to be made with some type of glue adhesive, which is dried and present in a brownish tint around the broken pieces. There is a small, roughly 1 millimeter shaped triangular piece at the back of the vase that is missing.
A medium size serving plate with color transfer-printed edge. Wide pink band and scene in center featuring "Shakespeare's House". May be part of the Parisian Pink china purchased by James Buchanan while serving as the U.S. Secretary of State from the French Ambassador, Louis Adolphe Aimé Fourier, comte de Bacourt.
