I think/hope this is a Harrach vase....after all I wouldn't want to be "mistaken" twice in three days :-)
I've been wanting one of these ever since I saw one posted by Michelleb007. I love the shape, the colour, the three bun feet and the enamelling is a delight. The main image extends around to the sides but rather than photograph that I've tried to give an idea of the quality of the enamelling..... In photo three you can see that the artist has painted shadows of the foliage. They're hardly there.....
The vase is quite large, at 22cm./8.5 inches in height.
Gorgeous.
Thank you Lee, you have lovely ones yourself!
Beautifully painted vase with great attention to details.The bee (?) is an icing on the cake !
Hi, Ivonne, and thanks. I wondered about the insect too. It looks rather long for a bee......hmm
Very,very sweet!!
What a pretty vase! I love the green background. :)
Oh, yes - Harrach! And what a beautiful example, too! I love this one - and it is in terrific condition, too. I am always looking for examples of these ball-footed vases. What a beautiful addition to your collection!
wonderful flowers, wonderful bird and wonderful colors.
@PostCardCollector Thank you for a lovely comment.
Another beautiful piece to add to your collection Peggy! I'm crazy about the color!
@katherinescollections I do appreciate your comment....thank you.
Of course, Michelle you realise it's you who sparked my interest in these, not to mention the Goldberg flower family! Well someone has to be blamed :-)
Hi kivatinitz, and a wonderful comment that is greatly appreciated :-)
Thanks Rick.....the colour may drive ME crazy among my usual greens and MOPs!

I love the softness in the colour beautiful
Thank you, Zowie, for the love and the charming comment.
Thank you for the loves, LOUMANAL, Michelle and smiata.
Peggy, I am happy to take the blame! ;) There is something addicting about these - they are so very elegant and the quality of enamel work is usually so high - they are just a pleasure to look at.
Thank you for a lovely comment, nutsabotas :-)
My pleasure I think it's stunning
Oh Peggy, this is beautiful too. I wonder if its uranium :)
Ah, Fran, I never know whether anything is uranium or not :-)

How lovely!
Thank you so much, baviolinist, one of my favourites.
Your vase is really wonderful! I have a dish that is much simpler than your piece but the colour of the glass looks similar. What do you think?

I think that your lovely comport may be by the same maker. Note the use of very, very fine dots as decoration.....that denotes skill. Looks simple but hard to execute. I think I detect a hint of shadows of the foliage/flowers depicted at the top of the stem. If so that also, is to be found on my vase. Really I'd need better pictures but you can see for yourself.....let me know The maker of the vase is Harrach.
Thanks so much for your attention to my comment. It was informative and I really appreciate it!
My photo-taking skills are not the best but I will try to get some better ones.
Thanks again,
Gudrun
Ah, I merely meant that if you could definitely see the shadows, that I only thought I could see, then it was pretty sure to be Harrach. Companies that decorated glass that they brought in often have features that they repeat.....part of the 'house' style.
Got it. Thanks for explaining it:)
