No offence taken, Lynne!
I just thought I hadn't made myself clear enough.
This type of item is inherently ambiguous as it has a foot in 2 stylistic camps.
I guess it was a case of re-using an older type of design for the shape of the vase & mixing it with a (at the time) fashionable colour scheme.
Not everything made in the 20s screams "Art Deco". There were lots of firms who still cranked out Victoriana, albeit with slight simplifications to the shapes & perhaps different colours.
There would be a fair few epergnes & frilly vases out there that were actually made in the Jazz age, rather than under Victoria's reign.
I have seen reproduced catalogue pages from various Bohemian makers illustrating Art Deco items alongside Victorian and even Biedermeier type pieces all at the one time-the catalogue dates to the 1930s!
