Superb Matt Blue & Floral Vase

This is a really nice vase made by ??? in the early 19th century I would guesstimate. I would say Paris in terms of style and it only has an incised letter type mark so that fits but the bottom rim is glazed which I ahve only seen on English pieces so maybe it is something like Spode. Don't recall ever ahving seen an English piece in this style but that doesn't mean much. So if anyone out there has an idea a quick email would be appreciated! Either way it is a truly superb vase. Nice size and shape and the decoration is stunning! The top and foot have a brownish or dark matte gold color to it with really ncie detailed gold flowers on top of that. Shiny gold trim to either side of that. The center of the vase / main body has my favorite color to it - matte blue and pink flowers with gold leaves that have some raised details to them. It's an amazing look!! Almost Art Nouveau but definitely much older than that. The vase is in great condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, etc. Just some very very minor wear on some of the leaves and a spot where there are some stray gold lines on the matte blue ground as shown. As nice a piece as they come! The vase is unmarked except for an incised letter or something along those lines as shown. The piece is 7.875 inches tall with a diameter of about 4.375 inches. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
