Hand Painted China vase with Gold Edging - No Marks
by Leslie
Hand painted vase - maybe from Ireland???
I have learned that when they have no marks it could mean several things - 1. purchased in the country where it was made thus needing no marks for export or 2. that it's fairly old before marks were required by law. I have been told that it could be from the 1870's. Someone also guess because of the size and shape - it is 5 3/4 inches tall x 3 3/4" wide - that it might be holding long matches for the fireplace. My grandmother gave this to me and her parents came straight from Ireland - if this is at all helpful.
