    "description": "The vase, a pair with Walters 44.689, depicts multicolored doves (grey, blue, lavender, green and orange) on flowering apricot branches against a midnight-blue ground.  Borders at the base and rim are geometric patterns inspired by Japanese textiles.  The mounts and cloisons are silver.  Inside the neck and on the bottom there is a gold and shakudo mottled surface.",
