This lovely vase is a fantastic Creta Papillon . The form is 1899, prod. No. 8053 and the dekor is also 1899.
The blue shade is amazing, specially considering the glass base is green (creta).

Pretty! Love the sky color, then the earth inside.
Lovely! Great shape.
You will be pleased to know the Championsheeps were a great success. Long live Shaun!
Thanks Amber, Vet, LLL, Bellinand Czechman for your Loves!
@LLL- I'm glad you ad a great time there. Haha, I guess it was a bit of a shock when I told you about Shaun :P I'm a big fan of Aardman cartoons and Shaun it's one of their best characters. As for the British TV series, and movies, I always loved them. I've got a good collection of them at home :)
Certainly was a shock, Austro! Aardman is great. We had huge fun racing the huge sheep round the maze and hurling wellies at the farmer. The Shaun and Timmy space hoppers were fab! Ok, perhaps you had to be there ... At least it didn't rain - we got soaked watching the flotilla on the Thames yesterday. I bet you don't miss the Irish/British weather!
Stunningly beautiful colours inside and out! and love the 'womanly' shape!.......:-) very pretty!
Great shape!
