Mother of Rose Bowl Type Vases

<< < (2/4) > >>

KevinH:
If the colouring is supposed to be near accurate, then it's not a house martin (Delichon urbicon) as they do not have black on the throat, and the back is all "blueblack", not shades of brown / ochre (or whatever those colours are).

rosieposie:
You know, I think you are absolutely right KevH,  I think it is a Sand Martin,  not a House Martin, although there could be some artistic licence here and it could be ornithalogus non-scriptus.

rosieposie:
Did you see this one m, the date might help even though the picture is different.

KevinH:
Sand martin would be closer - if they had clear white at the side of the head, but they don't!

rosieposie:
As I say, KevH, artistic licence has to be taken into account.......swallow type birds and almond blossom are often a feature on Japanese style paintings, and represent Spring.....trouble is, all this still doesn't tell us who made and painted this lovely rose bowl.
