Bird & Plant Janpanese Ornamental Art Hip Flask

This artwork by G.A. Audsley, featured in Section V Plate V of his collection, presents a beautifully detailed Japanese bird and plant print. The background is a rich dark red with irregular black vertical stripes and spots, creating a striking contrast with the foreground. In the centre, a bird is perched on the stem of a large lotus leaf, seemingly admiring the delicate flowers around it. The overall composition reflects the intricate and graceful style typical of Audsley’s work, combining natural elements with ornamental design.
