A PAIR OF FAMILLE ROSE ‘PARROT ON A PERCH’ LIDDED VASESTHE DESIGN ATTRIBUTED TO CORNELIS PRONK (1691-1759)   Possibly China, 19th or 20th century  A pair of baluster porcelain vases, probably part of a five-piece garniture, adorned in the famille rose palette with a parrot on a perch suspended from a melon-form ornament, the bird chained to the stoop and with colourful plumage, the right talon grasping a cherry sprig, with a blue border at the flared mouth and foot.  H: 35 cm Notes:   1.
