Persian Qajar Antique Pottery Vase with Bluebird and Flowers hand-carved Mexican mask 9 1/2" long x 4I really love the colors on Persian Qajar era pottery super lush, immediately recognizable, and I think all the better for the crazing and other imperfections they've invariably acquired over the past century and a half or so.

Around the rest of the body is an explosion
