The graceful Moriage snow geese birds are painted on a pale robin’s egg blue background that shades into a muted gray and richly illuminate in gold. This piece bears the no.22 green M in wreath mark registered in the U.S. in 1911 then the mark was phased out in 1918. The blank is made of white porcelain with molded in relief beading. The birds are flying from right to left. This receiver most likely had a puff-box to complete the set. It is tri footed measuring 3½ inches in height and 3½ inches diam. and is in excellent condition.
