<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4427621, member: 7360"]Wow, thank you very much for this reply, incredibly useful info! Now that you've told me I can see that it says "Gerona", I would never have got that on my own. I did wonder if it was ceramic, the surface did look like wood but that is probably deliberate, and looking at the base again I can see that the lettering must have been incised in wet clay, not carved into wood. So it could be a well known ceramic artist; it does look like an artist's vision. I'm getting quite excited about it now, but it's not mine yet, I shall now be quite disappointed if I don't get the lot! I want to get researching Spanish ceramic artists. Must put my money where my heart is. There is also an interesting painted jug which I will post here when and if I win the lot, I don't want to post it and then find I lose the auction, that would be too heartbreaking. I would love to research this vase(?) and the jug, my idea of antiquing heaven! I just hope that any rival bidders have not discovered antiquers.com, and I start with an advantage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
