This little vase is a bit of a mystery to me. It is not an old vase but it seems to have some of the decorative elements of older pieces.
Any help would be appreciated. Factory? Age? Town?
The mark just read in script 201 / 889 and printed Made in Holland.

ANYTIME vetriao50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charming vase!...Thanks again for the escargot recipe. I saw from your comments that you didn't know that they were cooked alive. As a child I was invited to dine at a neighbor's home on my birthday. She showed me an oval granite ware 'roasting' pan with a number of large snails - very much alive, and soon to go into the oven. Worse even that being boiled alive. I've never forgotten it. Another invitation was for lamb eyes cooked in honey. At least the lambs were dead when their eyes were harvested. I never ate dinner with that family, though I did sometimes snack with them on stuffed grape leaves and fabulous rugelach, but never lunch or dinner.... Thanks much for your kind understanding. I really appreciate it, sir!
And thanks to you miKKo! These people seemed like they had been reading Suetonius.
