Any thoughts please on this lovely bottle vase. 48 cms tall. Buyer said they thought it came from France, but there is nothing to say she was right or even if bought there it probably started life elsewhere !!
Clear base and appears to have a circular broken/cut off pontil mark.
All suggestions and thoughts much appreciated

I'd suggest it speaks French with a Chinese accent

Four things:
It's huge
Unpolished pontil mark
Irregular "regular" pattern
The blue and yellow are typical Chinese shades of those colours
