<p>[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 519675, member: 1331"]Decided this vase was weird enough to be worth a twenty dollar bid at a local auction and everyone else decided it was too weird to bother bidding on so it went home with me. Did the usual mark search and came up with Ernst Wahliss, Turn-Teplitz, Bohemia, Austria and a date sometime around 1910. Did a search for “Ernst Wahliss secessionist vase” and found a plain Jane Victorian “crap green” one and thought I had one of those amateur painted jobs but the green one has divots where the moriage style gold flower stigma were so somebody has scraped them off and re-painted it. They really liked this crap green in those days. The background is transfer printed and the main flowers and gold stigma are hand done. Ernst kicked the bucket in 1900 and shortly after that his sons bought several hundred old molds from the Vienna porcelain factory so it may be an old secessionist vase that has been re-purposed with an applied floral decoration.</p><p><br /></p><p>Data – 36cm High, 16.4cm Wide, 0.77Kg</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts???</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers</p><p>Stephen</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]166911[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166913[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166915[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
