This image contains the front and back views. I am not able to identify (markings) the vase and am hoping someone can. It has several mouth opening pieces missing and seems to be made of plaster (white). It has been in my family for many years.
Correction: Item does not appear to be made of plaster but it is whitish and of a grainy texture.
Size: 15 1/2" H x about 8" D center bowl.
@DSM -- I am guessing here that it might be Chalkware (one word or 2 words Chalk-ware) if you can see white. It you look at the bottom and take your nail and can make a scratch in it --- mostly likely Chalkware. Lots of Chalkware was made years ago. Thanks, just throwing that out there of what may be. Thxs
Additional photos and info as per your request. Thank you!
@DSM -- Thanks for the additional photos. yup, I am pretty sure that is Chalk ware. Lots of household decor was made in Chalkware in the very old days. Lots of Great pieces still out there waiting for new homes.
Love YOURS!!
Thanks Antiquerose, I tried scratching the chipped areas but the material is hard and grainy, no chalky residue.
