A fantastical and whimsical large-scale Staffordshire pottery pearlware glazed and enamel-decorated spill vase figure group.

The tree is home to two birds, an owl and an amusing and benign looking serpent, which is coiled around the main trunk. The base is decorated with a profusion of extruded grass and flowers, featuring a smaller snake curling through the grasses.
Dimensions: 9.25 inches high, 9 inches wide, 9.75 inches long
