Antique Pottery Vase (no marks)

I love this antique vase. Not sure who was the maker or how old it is. It has a very beautiful hand painted organic floral design. It stands 10" in height. I was wondering if any of you could tell me something about it.

 

From the top view it makes me think that possibly it was a lamp. Is there a small hole drilled in the side or in the bottom?

 

Hello Joe, no there's no holes anywhere.

 

Hi @Malcolm, welcome

Please show the bottom...

 

Yes I'll take a photo tomorrow morning.

 

The colors are saying Spain/Portugal possibly Italian to me. BWDIK

Kind of like this....

Deruta-ish with asian influence...that was my take. There is something about the flowers/pods/leaves design that makes it seem different from "Mexitalian".
Not a very helpful suggestion, probably...but I will try to clarify with some more research.

 

i have a strong feeling that it is not 100 years old...

 

I've never seen anything quite like that ware. Certainly not Spain. Certainly not Portugal. I'd look further east.

it kinda gets nicer the more u look at it....... strong color palate ..

 

Asa promised a picture of the bottom of vase. View attachment 241325

 

Please post your photograph so it's visible without link.

Mystery still not solved? Just wanted to add that the meander would lead one toward Greece (although it's used elsewhere, of course.)

I'm not sure how to do that?
