Unusual Royal Worcester Porcelain Triple John Hopewell Ornithological Bird Vase

Striking Victorian (1875-1880) porcelain 3 in 1 vase by Royal Worcester, each vase painted almost certainly by John Hopewell with a garden bird amongst foliage, a goldfinch on the front and a male and female bullfinch on the two taller vases. Twin shaped and gilded handles sit either side of the front vase and a similar shaped loop acts to tie all three together at the back. Gilded rims edged finely in black and sea scroll bands in gold and black decorate the foot of the front vase and neck of the others. Printed mark to the base of the front vase and diamond registration mark to one other.
