Scenic Vase

This is a vase or maybe a lidless tea caddy made by an unknown maker in the late 18th century with the blanc vase possibly being older. If I had to guess I would say it is Chinese porcelain painted in England though the paste is too clean and white compared to anything I have seen from China and it feels more like softpaste. Maybe I am totally off and it is French. Am royally stuped on this one so any clues would be appreciated. The porcelain quality is superb and the scenes are pretty ncie as well typically English. The shape of the vase is nice as well with the footring sticking out a bitwhich is common on Chinese vases. The vase is in great condition with a firing fault on the top rim, a stained hairline on the neck and a short stained line to the top rim. The piece is marked with a double blue ring mark underneath. Something I have seen on Asian pieces. The vase is 4.75 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $349
