I bought this about fifteen years ago. I haven't been able to find another like it, and have no idea about Pickard china but I thought it was pretty. Would love to know more about it... Thanks for looking!

Pickard China Company - Chicago, IL (Pickard, Inc) has made porcelain from 1893 to present. This mark was used from 1895 to 1898. Beautiful piece...Hope this helps.
Thanks so much Debbie, for the info. It's great to know how old it is! Wonderful. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
I love Pickard. I had a set of dessert plates for a while but sold them during one of my purging periods. :)
Ah yes, we all need to purge now and then ;)
Beautiful vase wolcott !!!!
Thank you Hedge ;)

Thanks darlin :)
Hey Wolcott...Hows it goin. What I have noticed with Pickard is that they usually have added the gold aspect to pieces. And when I say pieces, what I have seen, is Limoges Pickard, Rosenthal Pickard, Bavaria Pickardand even I believe Nippon Pickard. So what they would do is take another ones plate and add their "gold edges " to it. Or they would golden the handles. Or in some cases, they golden the whole object. Your piece to me has an oriental flavor to it. I am just a novice here, and I could be 100 % wrong. Nevertheless a stunning piece. Thank you for sharing
Hi Truth, Thanks for the info and the compliment on the vase!
I agree there is an Asian flavor to the design. I can't really put my finger on, I was thinking maybe Art Nouveau as well. Thanks for looking.
A reference book you might find useful is the Collector's Encyclopedia of Pickard China, by Alan B. Reed. Patterns and artists are detailed. Your fabulous vase I think , ( no expert here) is a version of plate 293 in that book. The mark looks like it is from the 1903-1905 time period. The example in the book is also unsigned. On facebook there is a Pickard China Collectors Club. They are extremely knowledge, helpful and friendly.
