Not sure if you can tell by pictures , but is this a real "Galle" vase or reproduction?

To me the colors look wrong to be an old piece....

Real Galle signatures are far more subtle, and, as Craig says, the colours look wrong. I'm no expert, but, tbh, everything about it looks wrong.

Here are a few more pictures that seem to better show the colors.

The first set I took for some reason show the yellow very bright, as-well-as the blue.
