Scent bottle in flowers encrusted porcelain with a rooster and two hens

Scent bottle in flowers encrusted porcelain in the shape of a two-handled vase with golden decoration and central floral medallion. The upper part represents a nest, full of flowers, which houses two small hens. The cap is in the shape of a rooster with a short metal rod. Gold anchor mark under the base.  The peculiarity of this item is that, although seems to be of English manufacture, it reproduces the large vases, typical of Meissen production. For now, no comparisons have been found. Possibly 18th or Early 19th century.
