Featured painted or decal mini vases

hi folks

picked up these 2 little vases in a charity shop yesterday

think it says trouville ? on the bases

cant quite work out if they are decals or painted (leaning more towards decals by the general look of them)

its not obvious, and there are variations in the pattern



any thoughts or info appreciated

 

Here's a dupe. No photograph of mark. Maker unknown according to seller.

wow £583, they've gotta be hand painted

 

only joking of course, thats £5.83

 

Hi Debora, could be me but on this link it looks like a name above the dancing mans head. Like I said it could just be me.

 

LOL, if I hadn't seen the base, I would've thought Japanese! Anyway, Trouville is a place in Normandy, France: https://www.francethisway.com/places/trouville.php
That might be the pattern name. The impressed numbers make me think of Germany, but possible Belgium?

 

Odd re link. Here's what I see when I click.

all i seem to see when i click on the link is the butlers pantry logo picture

 

Pretty high maintenance crowd here.

zoomed right in on the image, and still not sure if they are painted or decals ?

 

that dotted area in the background makes me think decal

 

Decals.

Transfers with a wee bit of hand embellishment.

we did embossed numbers as well, and also used furrin type names as pattern names.

 

thanks obb, that makes sense, no wonder i was confused

 

Definitely printed
