<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ascot, post: 141108, member: 96&quot;]I&#039;ve had this vase for years and have never seen another like it. It&#039;s 12&quot; tall and has a base diameter of 3 7/8&quot;. It&#039;s heavy - weighs just under 4 1/2 lbs.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can see from the bottom that construction looks like a round, tubular piece of wood&nbsp; surrounded by 6 sections that were somehow attached to the core and than shaped to the vase form on the exterior, and the center dowel was drilled for the vase (don&#039;t know about the paper core described next).</p><p><br /></p><p>The interior of the vase (photo taken with flash to show detail) is lined with a heavy paper core that reminds me of the cardboard tube inside a roll of paper towels or toilet paper from the way it coils. There&#039;s a wad of old newspaper in the bottom. The newspaper is stuck--I thought I&#039;d try to remove it to see if the paper had a name or date that might provide a clue, but it&#039;s stuck and I was afraid it would just come out in tiny bits.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lily of the valley and tiny blue flowers are pretty - can&#039;t tell if a decal or hand painted. </p><p><br /></p><p>The shape is reminiscent of early 20th century art pottery.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts on age, maker, etc. would be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_3507.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_3511.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_3508.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_3510.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_3512.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_3515.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_3513.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
