This vase stands just 5.5" tall and the colours are Sea? Green and white swirl, hard to describe the green as it shows up on camera as a turquoise! It has gold and beige embossed pattern to one side and a polished out pontil. Any thoughts on it would be appreciated! Many thanks!!:) Thanks to MacArt looks like it is a Bohemian Vase!!
I think it's definitely bohemian, like more budget friendly version of Loetz marmorietes decor.
Thank you MacArt!! Thank you to all for the Loves!!
The gold gilded rim (to me) suggests that it once had a lid.
Thank you charcoal, I did wonder about that gold gilding on the rim!
Great shape and an unusual colour…love it…but! I have to wonder about it had a having a cover… why would it have gilding decoration on the rim when it would be hidden…. and if!.. it did have a lid.. would the gilding be as worn as much as it is?….. what would you store in a vessel that shape that would require that much lid use to access the contents… finally wouldn’t it be just a nightmare to keep clean!..how on earth would you clean the bottom of it…just my thoughts!....:-)
See ebay item number 141053698165 for an example of the tiny lid.
Very interesting charcoal, thank you for the link!!:)
