Thanks Anne!
Interesting! Why would they be in an Austrian Vase I wonder? The disc was firmly attached.
An interesting vase.
The Monarchies were/are vastly intertwined and often helped each other out.
From Wikipedia:
"Before the First World War, most of Europe was ruled by monarchs related to George, but during and after the war, the monarchies of Austria, Germany, Greece, and Spain, like Russia, fell to revolution and war. In March 1919, Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Lisle Strutt was dispatched on the personal authority of the King to escort the former Emperor Charles I of Austria and his family to safety in Switzerland.[84] In 1922, a Royal Navy ship was sent to Greece to rescue his cousins, Prince and Princess Andrew.[85]"
