    Bought this today for a few pounds from a Charity shop. It’s 12and a half inches high by 7 ins wide, it’s heavy, I can see it’s been hand thrown from the inside. I’m not sure how old it is, any thoughts please? Would it be called Famille Bleu? I think it was likely originally a vase but been drilled for a lamp. Thanks for any info.

    At least "between the wars" would be possible. Possibly just post WW2.

    Drilled? I don't see a hole.

    Never heard of Famille Bleu.

    Second pic shows drill hole.
    I had heard of Famille Rose, vert, noir and jaune so assumed there might be a bleu? Doesn’t seem to be many blue ones I can find online though.

    The 'Famille' terms only refer to Chinese porcelain. And no, there is no Famille Bleu.:)
