    hi
    This was in our show case for a while. It has been through tumbles and cracks. For some reason we have retained it in a show case.

    Is this made of marble or some sort of porcelain? Have posted a picture of the bottom cannot make out though. D6E37AB9-D82C-434F-9EB7-65BA0F399C16.jpeg F416AD08-632A-4D4E-8A8E-F3CC49CF386F.jpeg 0A33D75F-A7A2-4DE4-9931-D6B9CF83F8B3.jpeg 91D6A070-9C05-4906-9348-3D7B5A081069.jpeg

    Lovely vase. It looks like Peking overlay glass, like these snuff bottles:

    Nice vase, well loved and heavily used! It looks like Sunny Baudelaire used it to teethe on. This effect is technically known as cameo glass. While hot, one color (or more) of glass is melded with an inner layer of a contrasting color, then fashioned into the desired shape. When cold, parts of the outer layer are removed with a cutting wheel to reveal portions of the inner layer. Depending on the quality of the glass, complexity of the style, artist level of skill and country of origin there is a wide variety of effects achieved. Comparing the aesthetics of this vase to a Galle' or the Portland vase for example, illustrates the range. Galle.jpg

    Did the Chinese / Japanese make cameo vases? Or is this vase European ?

    The Chinese made and still make Peking glass overlay vases.
    Glass overlay is a cameo technique, where a layer of one colour is put over another colour and the design is carved out to reveal the underlaying colour, which serves as the background to the design. That is what your vase is.
    Here are two 18th-19th century examples with a design related to yours:

    This is more of a guesstimate, it could be late 19th century.
    It is charming, but very damaged. It probably had a mate, just like the ones I posted above. There is not much value in the way it is now, but you can still enjoy its beauty, and the amazing workmanship.
