    I assume it isn't very old, but is there any way to tell how old it is?

    When I turned it over, to take a pic of the bottom, this came out :confused:

    This was indeed my first thought :eek: But it looks like saw dust. A bit weird to have that inside a vase, but maybe it came from a home with a "handyman" like me, who also forgets to cover things before starting the DIY work :D

    The torn label seems to be from a previous store where this was sold.
    I think the label says AGST 9-7 and IEK. So, possibly the date code for when the item was placed in the store, and maybe the end letters of 'Antiek' (antique in Dutch)? Although this would be an odd combination, as the Dutch normally wouldn't write a date like that...

    It has very nice coloring. Love the cobalt blue color. I would think at least vintage. Not an expert in these, hopefully someone who knows more will take a look and have ideas.

    I've accidentally dumped things out of vases while checking the base for a signature. Awkward when it happens in a thrift store.

    Nice colour, Chinese cloisonné, probably 1970s.
    What was left of someone's cannabis stash.
