Seems to be (cited from http://www.efineantiques.com/webpages/fine_porcelains.htm ) and found from https://www.figurines-sculpture.com...n-you-tell-me-whose-pottery-mark-this-is.html

Von Schierholz, C. G. Schierholz & Son, Plaue, Thuringia, Germany. This mark is shown to have been used c.1865-1911. The name was officially changed from C. G. Schierholz to Von Shierholz in 1912. (Source: Marks on German, Bohemian, and Austrian Porcelainby Rontgen, pages 279 and 462).

brilliant, thanks for the info mate

 

Looks like a decal to me.

Boucher is Franciose Boucher, a Rococo painter who lived a good 100 years before this.

I found this similar composition , by Boucher, that is in the Hermitage museum:


And this, which is much closer to yours but is after Boucher (couldn't find the original):


Difficult to search that second image as it has apparently been co-opted as a portrait of characters from the Outlander TV series. (Your vase disproves that.)

The second painting may be by a follower of Boucher. Since it is the reverse of the Hermitage image, it's possible that it was re-imagined from an engraving (speculation).

 

wonderful info mos

i didnt know what a decal was, but that does seem to make more sense

many thanks

 

Just in case you want to sell it, Boucher's first name was François.
(Franciose was his rather grandiose sister, who loved to take the limelight)
You probably know decal by a different name, transfer.
