Antique Reticulated Cup Mark ID help

Does anyone recognize this makers mark? It stands about 7" tall.

Thank you!

 

It may be the mark of the hobbyist who painted it.

 

I think that looks a little better than hobbyist,Janet. Pretty vase, but I have no idea on that mark.

 

My guess so far is 19th century continental. Mark looks like a pomegranate (but perhaps a peach or apple instead) with bees.

 

Hi,
What ever,it is a gorgeous vase.

The apple on the bottom likely covers the mark of the manufacturer of the porcelain. You might be able to see something by holding it up to a strong light. That's not really important. I think it's safe to say not factory decorated. Maybe a professional, maybe an amateur decorator. Very pretty. For dried flowers maybe? Or maybe originally had a glass liner?

 

The floral spray smacks of German Dresden , as does the reticulation. The flowers at the corners of the reticulation say that too. HOWEVER I have not seen Dresden with raised flowers .like that. And the mark stumps me. (Applebee's? LOL). That's all I got. Here is a Dresden piece in a similar vein.

If you enlarge the photo, the painting on the lower half looks pretty sloppy. Just my opinion. Many hobbyist china painters were and are very talented, but I don't think this is one of them.
