This lobed floriform solifleur vase is in a décor that has been described as pastel decoupage by Craig, as portions of the confetti or spatter look "cut out", best seen with the blue in pics 1 & 3.
It is 19cm high and nearly intact, given the amount of rigaree.
This is one of my favorite Welz décors.... and my favorite spatter decor by them for sure.....
I should add there is a row of "hobnails" at the weakest point where the stem meets the body - now these can have no possible decorative purpose apart from being visible at an angle. I think they must have been intended to give some actual or hoped mechanical strength at this weak point.
Very Cheerful Colors.
Ooh another Welz shape that's new to me, thanks for posting :)
