Webb or Bohemian?
« on: August 15, 2008, 11:33:20 PM »
This is a beautiful vase. I have seen some similar to it attributed to Webb or Moser. The vase is about 4 1/4" tall. The base is white, flat, and polished. No signature. The enamel is thick -- pretty distinctive. Does anyone know for sure who might have made it?

Thanks!

 :) The top is ground and well polished. I forgot to say that the vase is white inside.

After looking around the web this morning, I have to add Harrach as another possibility. They did some similar looking vessels. I have had this vase several months and am just now getting around to wondering exactly what it is.

This is a picture of the bottom. It is well done, but unremarkable -- flat with a slightly depressed pontil area.
