    I think this might be antique in age and of possible European manufacture. It is very thin or translucent porcelain and appears to be hand painted. The mark looks like the number 50 and that is it. I was curious about anything you might recognize on this piece. It is almost 5" and I guess it's a bud vase because of the small opening on the top. Any help is very much appreciated! help please...

    Looks like Niagra Falls to me. Probably decorated for the souvenir market

    Most of these blue souvenir vases were from Germany. Most likely import date would be in the very early 1900's.

    For anyone that follows or was curious. The collector was delighted to get this and I was happy with where the auction ended. He thinks it is German and possibly Dresden. He collects Niagra Falls souvenirs. Thank you guys for all the help! @konokwa
