Featured Cherubic vase with an old note in it.

Couldn't resist this for AU$20 at auction. Never seen an ornate vase with
three rather bored looking cherubs holding it up. The little guy on top has lost an arm
, a few toes missing and some chipping of the leaves but not too bad overall. Went to
clean it and discovered a note inside that seems to indicate this dates from circa 1900 but I can't translate it well enough to get all the info. There's a line mark underneath but I couldn't find it a https://www.kovels.com/marks/pottery-porcelain-marks/lines.html.
It weighs 1.64Kg and is 33cm high.
Can anyone id this vase and or translate the note?

Cheers

Maybe Sitzendorf? Just a guess. It's very pretty!

Yes Sitzendorf, really nice

 

According to IM Translator, Handelsbanken... means: commercial bank - always in the picture. And spillesinde is 'playing inside'. (Warning: Translator not always accurate.)

 

Super cute. I'd stash the lid and use it as a vase. Poor bored little cherubs ... such were the days before TV and mobile phones.

 

The note is in Danish. I know the Handelsbanken as a Swedish bank, but the text is Danish. No doubt Handelsbanken had a branche in neighbouring Denmark as well, they are also here in the Netherlands now.
The Folketeatret, the theatre mentioned in the note, still exists in Copenhagen. It first opened it's doors in 1857, info in Danish:

That's interesting. I'm wondering if it is a note that says "see you at the theatre on X/Y/1900". Not sure if the note relates to the vase at all but these cherub Sitzendorf vases seem to date around 1890-1900 but could be earlier.

I don't think the note relates to the vase.
It could be a note for a sercret rendez-vous after the play. Quickly hidden in the vase when the spouse entered the room.
I don't know Danish, but since it is related to Dutch, and I've been in Denmark a few times, I can make something of it. 'Spillesende' probably means the end of the play. 1900 is probably the time, 7 pm.

 

With a pierced lid like that, I'd think a potpourri jar.

 

The bank's notepaper font appears to be from the 1960s.

Good observation.

Chippy? Cherubs? What's not to love! I would have been seriously tempted by this piece, too. You can see the nice quality.

 

It's awfully cute, if a bit overdressed for my tastes - with flowers that is. I don't read Danish worth a darn either, but I'm guessing it's something about the vase's elaborate design, and that it was made circa 1900. I don't think the front of the card indicates much except that the note was written in the 60s.
