Here is a 7 1/2" footed behive vase with crown. There is the original paperwork declaring premium quality and real gold. Hugh?
I don't see gold... but these pieces could have been sold with gold leaf decorating common to that time. This form is replicated and copied in from many makers. I could do a shape study and it would show over 10 shapes. The decor is confetti on confetti in satin finish. The labels were wrapped around foot when I purchased it.
Please let me know what you think, who made it or who the "N with crown" mark could be from
A little comfusing..not my expertise..
Label seems to be Italian.

Also note the label says "Capodimonte STYLE"
A Runaway Label. Capodimonte is a ceramic firm of some note.
Agree with Kevin, I think this is a label from another item. Just going by the sans serif style font used on the label I think it possibly dates somewhat later than this vase. Sans serif fonts were a distinctly modernist statement - seen as fairly cutting edge in the 1920s but in much more general use by the 1950s - 60s. What material is the small N badge on the cord? It looks like some kind of moulded plastic to me which also possibly suggests a mid 20th century date...
I also think this tag is a mismatch for the glass. The "N with crown" is a well-known Capodimonte logo. Nice glass though.
I collected these 'beehives' for a while and have five. All had spatter decors of some sort which I could never identify. I can only put my hands on three now. I'll do a post of them for comparison as you can't add an image to a comment.
Yes. I was thinkingbthe label belongs to some ceramic figures not the vase.
