[QUOTE="15Stiftgasse, post: 1934235, member: 12382"]Hello again. Many thanks for taking the time to make your comments. I forgot to mention that the vase is about 20 cm in height. As I said in my first post, I have only recently acquired the vase. At the moment it is awaiting my collection about 200km away, as the seller has had problems with breakage of ceramic items which she had sent by post, so prefers collection. I've checked Google for Crystalline vases, but could not see one example with an external seal applied to the body. Strange. They all seem to be marked or signed on the base , as you might ordinarily expect. So, my next question would probably be : Can any forum readers suggest which specific countries (or perhaps even studios) have been known to use this form of seal ? This might help me at least narrow down the geographical area of origin. I had assumed - wrongly, it seems - that this type of seal was a feature of Japanese wares. ALSO - I've got a bit of a dilemma, I am considering paying for the vase to be sent to my home address (and accept the risk of damage) rather than the hassle of having to spend the best part of a day travelling, as well as the cost involved. Furthermore, with the Coronavirus situation being as it is, travelling at the moment is not particularly recommended. SO - in order to make my decision - it would be helpful if any forum readers with experience of this type of porcelain could give any indication as to how common/rare/desirable such a vase as this is. ANY comments or opinions will be most gratefully received ! Thank you, and stay healthy. Peter[/QUOTE]
