<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4389481, member: 7360"]This is one of a pair of little green vases, diameter at the rim about 2.5 inches. There are no marks underneath, and I can't figure out who made them, or when. I think the technique is majolica, and I find the colours quite pleasing. One dragon is rather fierce and looks traditional Chinese. The dragon (I think) on the other side is very strange, it looks like it has a claw at one end and a fish tail at the other. The lump on its back is the same on both vases, so must be in the mould, but why I can't imagine. Does anyone have any idea where they came from? Did the Chinese make majolica like this?
