Background is green with big red flowers. Have no idea what the material is and just someone can give me a lead to research.

Thanks!

HI
This is made from porcelain and probably Austrian in origin dating from the early 20th century. If it has a country of origin on the base, date is after 1891 and if no country of origin , pre 1891

Thank you Dean, I appreciate everything you've shared with me.

You are most welcome, any time. This type of decoration was normally a feature of Austrian vases of this period and there were some noted artists that specialised in painting roses
Dean
I am still looking for this one, but I have gotten some words to describe it more. A swirled ribbed body, rolled and folded crimped rim.
Thanks for the lead in the right direction, Dean.
I can't honestly say this mystery is solved on this one. So, I've gotten a lot of good leads and that's what will keep me going.
Thanks..everyone...for real
I have this same shape in green with much rose pattern decoration and beading and it is marked with a "Nippon Handpainted"Mark. I have had it for about 10 years. Hope this info is helpful. It is porcelain.
