Very early vase made in Pecs, Hungary during the managerial period of Wilmos / Vilmos Zsolnay during the 2nd half of the 19th century. <P><P>
Measures approx 2 3/4 inches high. <P><P>
Main body is bulging, round shape with a slender double gourd neck and rim. Body is ivory-coloured with polychrome decoration depicting a host of scrolling flowers and foliage and a wonderful heart floating in the middle. The style of painting combines Hungarian folklore traditional art themes and style, with Islamic (Iznik) decoration. A host of colours are used - the heart alone combines pale pink, salmon, puce, grey-green and cream and is surrounded by radiating bright yellow leaf-like rays. There are traces of gold highlights, most of which have worn away. <P><P>
The vase is marked in blue underglaze underneath with the 5-spire Zsolnay mark, Zsolnay PECS with a sceptre like the KPM scepter mark and letters that look like TJW on a banner. A handpainted symbol on one side and impressed number 1480. This was a very early mark, used 1878 - 1900. The number 1840 dates the model to the early part of 1885 - 1887. <P><P>
condition is generally good with two very small chips on the bottom rim. The glaze is crazed as can be seen magnified in the 'photos.
