Is the rim cut? Might be better to take from slightly further away. Shot of base would help too. Interesting.

I have seen similar but with a different vase form. I assumed they were modern and Eastern Europe

Hi, thanks for your replies... here are another couple of pictures that might help, I actually have another one smaller and a different shape but it is the same colour and has the same insect on it.

Here is a picture of the other one just in case it helps?

I have just found something similar if not the same on an american site which states its scottish, 1900-1910 but i'm not sure? I like the price though! ha ha
