Mother of Rose Bowl Type Vases

(1/4) > >>

Ohio:
Could not get over this one I picked up today. Shape reminds me of most rose bowls, but the size of 8 1/2" height & 7 1/2" diameter & 2 3/4 lbs. weight would make it the Mother of all rose bowl vases. Enamel is legit thick, no decals & raw pontil mark. I have no idea even which side of the pond it may have come from. Puts on a light show when blacklit & enameling goes 270 degrees around the diameter. Any ideas where it originated appreciated. Ken

sorry I can't help on id, but it is a gorgeous piece, really pretty.  I immediately thought Japanese (but I'm sure I'll be wrong).  I guess if you can work out the flowers and the bird that might be an indicator - sorry if I'm stating the obvious  :wsh:

I think the bird is a House Martin if that helps.  I am into birds and animals, so I like this vase.

and isn't one of the flowers honeysuckle? the other maybe a dog rose type thing  :ooh: it just reminded me of cherry blossom actually.

I think the pink flowers are probably almond blossom....there are no significant leaves on those branches, so not a dog rose (Rosa Canina!!). 
Not sure about the honeysuckle....might be a stylised Chrysanthemum, but that would be wrong for the time of year when the house martins are mating and the spring almond blossom is out.....this is turning into a nature study thread!!
