Bone China Vase

Here is my lovely Bone China Vase which was fashioned by my USA friend Walt, and which I purchased from him at the Nashville IPAT Show in 2008 and have just now finished painting it.
I wanted to show off the lovely side handles and also the lovely design top and bottom of the vase, without making the vase too busy. I painted just a simple design of roses as an elongated design on the front of the vase . . . . and only a simple bud on the back of the vase. When I went to outline the rose design on the edges it spoilt the whole elegant look of the vase so I decided to leave the edges plain, but with a small amount of enamel to embellish the roses.
