For his first design on the Prestige lidded jar (SH4) Terry turned to the popular subject of garden birds and in particular three members of the titmouse family. He wanted to paint something with an autumn feel to it where the birds could be set against berries and other fruit. This became not only a feast of fruits for the birds but a veritable feast of images ... hence "Autumn Feast" for the title of the piece.

The birds featured are the Coal Tit, Blue Tit and Great Tit, with a magnificent total of nine birds featured over the surfaces of the vase. Each is portrayed in incredible detail, with those on the INSIDE (Great tit and two Blue Tits) just as detailed as those on the outside. Rose hips, blackberries and hawthorn berries integrate into the design and apples and pears look quite scrumptious.

If that wasn't enough Terry has added the final touch of three insects painted in minute detail - a gorgeous white-tailed bumble bee, a butterfly and a wasp feasting on a windfall apple!

There is so much to attract one's attention it is impossible to grow tired of looking at this piece.

This is a truly remarkable piece of painting, which takes Terry's work to an entirely new level. His work for Moorcroft Enamels pales into insignificance in comaprison to this piece and many of them cost more!
