I've seen this before with stags' heads (Saxon Stag pattern), but never boars. Pattern number 730. Anyone ever seen it with other animals?

I cannot offer anything useful about this or other animals on vases, but it is a striking looking little vase. I take it your new lightbox setup is responsible for the quality of the photos such as the detail of the boar's head.

Thanks, agphile! Yes, washtub-and-lamp setup makes everything much clearer--though it's still hard to take photos of shiny objects without accidentally showing off all the details of my untidy apartment.
