Description |
This tall Art Nouveau porcelain vase has all-over decorative slip trailing of birds and flowers. The birds appear to be peacocks or birds-of-paradise. The flowers appear to be tulip motifs. The background is glazed green-blue or teal. The slip trailing is glazed in light golds, yellows, oranges, pinks, and browns. This bright translucent glaze likely contains uranium, as the vase is radioactive. The yellow glaze glows in blacklight. Text on the bottom of the vase reads: "ZSOLNAY / PECS / 3610 / 15" The ID number dates this vase to about 1890. |
