    Please go back to one of the posts, choose edit, then options & choose full size for the photos instead of thumbnail. Makes it easier for all of us. :)

    That's better. We could still use at least 1 closeup showing the chick decoration. Am I seeing eggshell in the scene? Newly hatched? Often we get the answer to a question only after we can describe the item well enough to do good research.

    Yes it’s basically chicks that have just hatched. I was thinking it might be Sevres but not sure.

    Not Sevres. Where is the mark? Inside the top? No marking on the bottom? Could be a decorators mark or tally mark rather than manufacturer.

    The mark is below the lip of the vase, inside, on the neck. No mark on the bottom. It is only marked on 1 and not the other. I can only assume they are a matching pair because they both show baby chicks just hatched. These have been in my family for at least 100 years so they are def old and I am guessing they may have come from Italy, if that helps with the identification.

    It's really hard to evaluate this without a closeup of the decoration. Italian does not seem likely but...

    Here are some close up pictures of the front. I am also attaching whats on the back. It almost feels like maybe it’s made out of some kind of glass but again, I really don’t know.

    Beautiful work. Porcelain but with a very good glaze that gives it a glass like sheen. It's French or German porcelain I think. Circa 1890 if not a little earlier. I don't know that the mark will help you. Given the location I think it's most likely a decorator symbol and won't be of much assistance towards an ID. It needs a cleaning. Try a mild dishwashing soap and maybe a paper towel. Rub no more than necessary especially around the gold.

    Those are the sweetest chicks! Even though not marked, would it be possible to see the base?

    Oooh, I have to agree with SIS now. This is why we need shots of the entire bottom. And we have a new top shot. Now I'm wondering if it's a bottle missing a stopper.

    Maybe it’s marked 4. To match correct stopper?

    Looks like glass to me, too, so maybe Bohemian?

    I’ve been googling Bohemian so maybe that’s what it is because some look very similar in style
