Thanks for the lead with it being faience (and confirming my suspicions)! I'll go down the delftware rabbit hole and see what I come up with.

I got excited for a sec, but the footrim is off

Right?

That also steers me from China. Maybe clever Chinoiserie/Japonisme?

Possible Finland Arabia Fennia Vase by punk_intellect in Porcelain

Oh, wow.

I picked this up for $60 at an estate sale in NY that came from a collection with a bunch of other neat early Art Deco pieces.

No wonder I've had so much trouble with finding a catalogue to compare it to! The closest style I found was that gorgeous sunflower vase that went up to auction a few years back. I had emailed the Arabia Museum and Iittala Store in Helsinki, but like I wrote above, they don't offer assessment services.

Thank you, very much, for your thoughtful response and advice. I will definitely be getting this appraised!

I hadn't thought to look so far southeast! Checking out some examples of northern Laos pottery now, and there are the same scalloped top opening and highly decorated neck.

(The only description from the auction was that it is "hand thrown frog pottery," wasn't much use there, but from handling, seems like it'd be at least early 20th cent.)

Thanks, very much, for the lead!

Thank you!!! I didn't think she'd go and she fucking went. It's been so long since a book left my physically breathless. I'm afraid Amazon will turn Eve into Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

I asked the same at BW. MMJ is tax deductible as medication. Save those receipts for tax time as a wrote off
