Again I think this pale green pair are Bohemian and from the Art Nouveau period. They are however painted rather than enamelled, except for the pistils of each flower. I only mention that because the turquoise vase to the right has just the same mix of paint with enamel for the pistils. This may be just a coincidence but they also both have one bold flower and three gilded bun feet. Thus I'm wondering whether they have the same origins.

Love the feet, my favourite is the red one with a top like a castle turret.
Stunning! So nice to have the pair, too!
the skill of the painter is noticeable when you realize that the flower is the same in both vases but portrait from another position..... great great
BHIFOS Thanks, my favourite too.
IronLace, Glad you like them.
Thank you, Sylvia, well spotted. I hadn't realised that.
Lovely vases,carefully painted/enameled and I agree with BHIFOS the feet are a beautiful addition. Studying the details of painted flowers is a pleasure.
I would be inclined to agree with your attribution. I have a piece of Meissen with the Pfeiffer point mark which dates it to either 1924-34 or 26-36. Either way, the painting is so similar, I wouldn't bet against it being the same artist. So, German art deco is spot on, if comparing with what I'm holding. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Iwona, I too really like these enamelled pieces, a new venture for me.
Peggy, I have a turquoise vase in a shape very close to yours with the exact same flower decoration on it as on your custard glass pair; I do believe they are also by Josephinenhütte. You can see it here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/9646837@N06/51890442177/in/dateposted-ff/
Thank you for the supporting evidence, Michelle. I'm still finding my feet with Harrach and Josephinenhutte but it's fascinating.
My pleasure, Peggy! They can be very hard to tell apart, and I am always learning more about them too!
