Featured Help Identifying Old Porcelain Vase

I ran across this vase (Photos included) at a local Goodwill, and immediately it set off my antique collector's instincts. Problem is, it has no bottom mark and I could find no matches using Google image searches from many angles and with keywords. I suspect it is Royal Vienna, circa 1880, but only because I found some images of porcelain from that place and era that looked similar at least in color and general artistic design. The people making those claims about their objects could very well be wrong. The vase is entirely hand-painted, no modern stamping. You can see the tiny brush-strokes in the scene with the gentleman holding his hat. There also appears to be a rough artist's signature in the bottom left corner of the scene, but I cannot read it. A zoomed-in photo of that has been provided.

Normally I would use providence marks to date it myself, but as it has none I thought I would consult an audience of like-minded peers.

What do you think, is this a late 1800's piece, something more modern, or a dud?

 

here's a guy , looks like your guy..

 

The design looks very similar. Do you have a date range and maker for that piece?

 

they say 19th century , French Sevres........but I can not confirm...

 

Any marks on the bottom?

 

this also says Sevres......... the guy is a popular design..

 

The name looks like Collin, but the gentleman looks to be a generic design of an 18th c fellow. IMHO, I would suggest that it's French and latter 19th c. The gilding is good.

 

I read Colleu, which is a French surname.

Ditto.

 

Welcome to the forum, @McChuggernaut Your pictures and description are great, especially for a newbie! You must have been lurking here a while!

Welcome! It reads like 19th century to me, a non-pottie admittedly. Not a dot in sight and the gilding and pink/red look dead on.

 

I’m voting mid nineteenth French.
