I found out more information on this vase. It is an art nouveau Royal Dux vase. Research looking at 10,000 images points to it's bulbous form being fairly rare no matter the maker. It is 11" tall. Top form is approximately 4 1/2" across. Base is 4 3/4". Colors are a soft aqua and soft rose on a white ground. Royal Dux is the more common name for the Duxer Porzellanmanufaktur, which was founded by E. Eichler in Dux, Bohemia (now Duchov, Czech Republic), in 1860. By the turn of the century, the firm specialized in porcelain statuary and busts of Art Nouveau-style maidens, large porcelain figures, and ornate vases with three-dimensional figures climbing on the sides. Before 1938, the company had over 12,000 molds for porcelain.
