    hello i aquired this flower vase at a yard sale a few weeks back. i was wondering what era it could be possibly from? also on the side of the vase it has a name "s.giusti" not sure who that is. i tried doing some research on my own but couldnt find much so was wondering if anyone here would have any information on what i have. also there is another name on the bottom of the vase and it says "ginori" then the letter "D" below the name. if anyone has information im all ears. thanks for your time!

    Here is some history of the company. Very well known, and used to command very high prices.
    It became Richard-Ginori in 1896. So I'm going to guess this is before that time.

    "s.giusti" would be the artist who did the painting.
    I don't know if there is a list of artists and when they worked for the company.

    Thanks Janet, when it comes to pottery you know so much more than me.
    I copied Walter's answer from the link you posted, since not everyone clicks links.

    "The porcelain vase was created by the world renown firm of Richard-Ginori. It was sold as a blank to the import company known as Flrenze Ware in the U.S (Firenze is known as Florence in English speaking country). This company, operating in the 1920's and 30's, and 40's would commission individual artists to paint the blank porcelains supplied by Ginori and distribute them to high-end department stores throughout the U.S. and England. Firenze Ware products were advertised as being made with trim of 'Pure Roman Gold' "
