Featured Need help identifying a pair of vases

These are interesting, hoping you will hear from the company this style is sometimes called moon or moon flask vases,
I remember reading something about the colour of the eyes in older Meissen pieces, they were done in only one colour, I think it was brown but I can't find the information
I thought the same as Don, they were made in France.
fingers crossed they are Meissen from the 1700s

 

The shape of the vases does look more modern. Are the florals hand painted or transfers?

 

From the look and feel of them, they are hand painted

 

That's good! I could tell the woman and the branches were hand painted, but I wasn't sure about the florals since when I blew up a photo there were pale outlines around the the florals everywhere, whereas around the branches and lady there is not.

 

Yes, looks hand painted here. Thanks!

 

would be interested to find out the outcome of these

at first glance i thought really tacky

and i can see why some are saying not old

but the faces i find quite convincing of age

its a hard one to call !!

 

These are out of this world!!!

 

I am still on the hunt to try and find out the manufacturer and time period. I have looked at so many vases online, lol. Got in touch with the Meissen factory and they said they were not the manufacturer. Sought out the help of Jill Fenichell. She thinks they may be from a smaller German manufacturer. I will keep everyone posted once I figure this out.

 

Please keep us informed. I love to watch the search and do the search myself.

 

The mark is Eugene Clauss, Paris. It is documented in the book Trios Siecles de Porcelaine de Paris.

Good information, thanks for sharing. Don't we wish factories would have come up with their own marks instead of copying/imitating others -- crossed swords, double L, N and coronet, scepter mark, and beehive -- you have to prove they are fakes/imitations!

 

well done !
