Retro Small Handpainted German Vase




Small black and gold vase, flared top and bottom and handpainted with a red, white and gold flower on one side and a small leaf motif on the other. It is coloured burgundy on the inside and the rim and base are both coloured gold. It is marked 1008 and 4 on the base as well as "Foreign" and "Handgemalt A". There is another mark around the base, opposite "Foreign" but it is indistinct. The style of the numbering suggests Germany but it could easily be Austria or Switzerland. I would imagine age to be around 50 years. There is some loss of gilding around the rim but otherwise it's in excellent condition. Please note the small white paint spatters have now been removed!
