    This type of pottery is generically known as Cantonese - Cantonese pottery is quite common and often comprises of brightly painted large vases (usually pairs). The Foo Dog finial is often seen on lids. From the looks of it, I'm guessing it's late 19th century but the mark on the base would confirm or refute that. The better quality vases shows exquisite detail in the painting and the dog image is finely moulded with sharp detail and well painted. 'Cantonese' pottery is still exported from China worldwide but most of the modern examples lack that quality, although are still attractive decorative pieces.

    Well taken. That is a nice looking Vase.
  • Slimdandy said:
    Is it possible that this image was made for an auction catalog? The vase has been moved to a location with a simple backdrop. Is there any record of an sale of the furnishings at Mount Juliet at the time?

    Stuart Swiftly trying to distract everyone as I remove tag "Lion" and replace it with Foo Dog finial. (Move along, nothing to see here)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Slimdandy Hmm, that's a thought, though the McCalmont family bought Mount Juliet in 1914 and remained there until a few years ago...

    Great photo,(and a lovely bicycle too). Looks like a team with players from all walks of life.
  • John Spooner said:
    Something odd about the bicycle - the chainring and chain are on the 'wrong' side. At first I thought the photo was the wrong way round, but the buttons on the shirts etc are OK so it must be the bike which is unusual. From oldbike.wordpress.com/1893-safety-bicycle/ Early safeties featured either left-hand or right-hand chains. There was no particular advantage to mounting it on either side. But, with the 1890s boom in bicycle sales, the industry had to standardize cycle components. By 1895, right-hand chains had become the standard. Almost unheard of nowadays, but it is possible to do it if you want to be weird different sheldonbrown.org/gunnar/

    Looking at the ears, I would say the fellow on the left with the stripey jacket is Sir Richard. Talking of ears, there is a marvellous pair on one of the gentleman standing.
  • John Spooner said:
    This article says that Sir Richard is seated second left

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Absolutely - a real local team! And the bicycle is very snazzy indeed.
