<p>[QUOTE="F pul, post: 9992597, member: 88850"]Just got some more info on the vases. My grandma (93), who had them for like 50-60 years got them from her aunt who inherited them from her father (so my grandma’s grandfather). How or where he got them is not known, but that would definitely make it possible that those vases are approximately 100+ years old</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the absence of a company or makers mark, but the presence of a numerical mark (probably a style number). Does anyone here have good tips on identifying these vases. Like websites which have a lot of info on style marks for example. as mentioned before, I do see a lot of German work with only numerical marks so I will probably focus on German companies and makers. So if there are any useful sources which are focused on German ceramics that would be even better! Her grandfather came from Assen (the Netherlands) by the way, so that’s also pretty close to western Germany which indeed often had only numerical marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
