This rare and very intricate porcelain work of art is sure to catch the eye of any antique collector.

The style of this piece is Art Deco, with a focus on bold geometric shapes and a whimsical design. Underglaze blue crossed swords, incised model number D 287, impressed assembler's number 34, and painter's mark 67 painted in. 11" high x 9" x 5.
