These iranian vases were listed earlier , these are close up pics to show the decoration , they are transfer painted in places not in others and have gold coloured lion head handles on the necks rings are fixed, the painting varies in places between the two vases .. see other listing for marks
Fantastic handles
Thanks, theyre lovely vases..
They are beautiful! I would definitely try to research the mark with the initials
I have been trying to find info on iranian makers and read that some of theyre pottery was made in turkey with iran markings but it seems to be a minefield trying to find makers!!
Ill keep trying though, simon
Gothenberg chinese marks no. 45 & 1436 ..
They have the same marks but unidentified, like myself I thought these were chinese but theyre not !!
Just found the coat of arms belong to the" Imperial Family of Iran !!
Great information, OAS. As someone who is learning about these things, I have to say it is also frustrating to see the similarities in styles and decor, when sometimes I can't tell the difference as to where something came from, lol. That's the expert eye, that can see the little details and know what they're looking at!
Oldandsilly :-) many many thanks for all the info !! Your a star!!
There isn't much info on Iranian pottery on the web & I stumbled across the marks by accident whilst looking for another pot mark !!
Just wondering why they would put the imperial family coat of arms on the vases for export?
These marks (lion & sun) are on Gothenburg's Chinese marks as unknown as yet !!
Thanks again SD:-)
