The vase is in excellent condition with no chips, hairlines or repairs but t is wear to the gilt trim that outlines the pictorial. This much wear had to take a lot of handling and many years, so I think it is very possible this vase goes back into the 1800's. The background is a deep cobalt. The vase is about 6 1/8" in height.
