Hi and welcome - I'm afraid your pics aren't working!

Have a dig around here - you'll find instructions on how to upload clickable thumbnail images directly to the board.

Thanks sorted

Well done - and while you can still alter your post!
I'm afraid I can't help with your vase though. Hopefully, somebody else can.

I would start by looking at the Maltese producers, also Carlo Moretti and Empoli stuff as there are similarities to all those things. I think someone will give an attribution quite soon as it looks familiar to me but I can't quite place it. It is lovely.

Would it be possible to get a shot of the profile of the vase? a shot of the base from an angle that shows the level/quality of grinding or polishing could also help.

Not any of the Maltese ones, no connection with Michael Harris at all, I'm afraid, scavo.
I think Empoli might be a much better bet.
I agree, it's nice.

Thanks for all the replies realy appreciate the help, this is the best shot I can get of the base, its flat and smooth.

It looks completely different now.
It now looks less Empoli. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be Chinese.  Can you feel the shape of the pattern under the glass or is it completely smooth?

Scavo, it is smooth you can not feel the pattern at all
