Featured Tall Vase Id

Can anyone help identify this vase, looks kind of art nouveau style, maybe Austrian?

 

No expert, but I wonder if it could be British?

 

Interesting one, kind of Secessionist vibe, possibly Austrian/Bohemia. The impressed numbers on the base like that isn't really a British thing.

 

I'm probably way off base but the decoration looks similar to the style used by Moorcroft (the floral part).

 

Tube lined majolica - and yes, Moorcroft used tube lining. It's lovely. I agree the numbering isn't British. I'd think Austrian or German, late 19th/early 20th.

 

The colour combination also looks English to me, but wdik.

 

Interesting. The vase shape itself seems unusual from others I've looked at, could that be a clue?

 

A bottle?

 

I don't know diddly about it but think it is lovely!

Might be an absinthe bottle

 

Is the flower anything in particular? Looks like an orchid to me

 

Stylised iris from the looks.

Julius Dressler made some items in this style, although there is enough difference I doubt they are the maker. Moravia also used iris designs, but not tubelining afaik. Sarreguemines also made similar designs (France) but wrong colours for them I think.

I still think it's likely Austro/Bohemian, may not be possible to determine the make though as there were many small potteries of which records/pattern books don't exist.

 

Thanks definately useful information. Looks to me like they've made the top of the flower look like some kind of demon or pixie, like a brand logo for some alcohol product

 

Interesting observation, I hadn't noticed that, but after reading your comment I now can't unsee it - funny how the brain works like that.

 

Has to be intentional probably

 

Yes!!!! That's the term that was eluding me. Thanks, Obb!

 

Iris - flag irises to be specific.

 

But the one at the top is a Ladyslipper orchid I believe.

Edit: not the very top but the large one below the rim.
