Some years back, Belleverre posted an example of this vase. I literally flipped over it, and when this one came up recently, I had to have it. It's by Quezal, and I was told circa 1915. I'm not familiar with the mark (Quezal with a fancy scroll beneath), so I can't be sure. It's a nice size measuring 12" tall and has a yellow opal base. It's decorated with a pulled feather design with ten, applied, gold iridescent tadpoles which run the length of the vase ending at the base. Any help as to the age would be appreciated. As always, thanks for looking!
Gorgeous!
Thanks for the nice comment and love Gary, and thanks for the love Tassie and Swinfin, it's appreciated!
Just so that you know, I said some pretty colourful language when I saw these pictures but being the gentleman that I am, I will restrain myself and not repeat it here. Nice one Rick!
