The vase can be dated to the late 1700s or early 19th century, between 1780 and 1830. Made in the full Rococo style with decorations of the highest artistic level, all executed by hand at the point of a brush, particularly rich in the pure gold finish and imposing the two snake handles reminiscent of French vases of the 1700s.

Information on artist and/or manufacture:
The vase is easily traceable to the famous English manufacture of Coalport, most famous for porcelain vases and plates with similar decorations and styles. Most porcelains from this manufactory were unsigned. Another element that leads us to attribute the vase to this manufactory is the numbering. In fact, both the font and the slightly faded red coloring are characteristic of English porcelain, particularly Coalport or Derby, but of the two we favor the latter. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
