Would really appreciate help with this one as well, the age, the maker? This is in excellent condition and the enamel design is quite beautiful. The body goes from pale green to frosted white with the red to pink rim (with enamel design on rim as well as the body). There is a pontil.
I would just love a starting point to know its history.
Many thanks.

Gorgeous Vase!
This Vase Might be Monte Joy, I posted a Vaseline Rose bowl which I believe was made by that company and the Gold Enameled Design is Very Similar!
Shawn 186, thanks so much for your input, I appreciate it. I just found a site with a very similar vase (just thinner) and it appears to be a Thomas Webb. Just wanted to share and I saw your postings, you have a GORGEOUS collection.
Nice vase-- the pink rim is great.
I do not think it is Mont Joye or Webb. I would expect it to have a smooth, polished pontil as opposed to a rough pontil. Additionally, the quality doesn't match what I would expect of those two firms.
