we have a Beautiful Vintage Majolica 11.5" Figurine From the Victorian Era. It it a Beautiful & Colorful Blue Heron next to a Faux Vase that has an Iris Flower attached to it. It truly is a beautiful piece. I knew it was at least older than 1904 as someone wrote in pencil on the Unglazed Concave Bottom area "For Ma, Dec 25, 1904". Piece has some incised numbers also on the bottom "8012" and "27". T are no other names on the bottom except maybe a funny backward "N" & "O" (under the zero of the $2.50). Also says x 12/$2.50 Recently purchased from an estate of a couple in their late 80's. This piece is in good condition. No chips, cracks or repairs but t is some crazing and t T is also a few spots on the top base that looks like a manufacturer's flaw. T is a small hole on the back of heron's right leg and also on the base. (as shown in photos). I assume that this was done to release pressure during firing. This is NOT actually an open vase as it is NOT OPEN at the top, but it is like a base/pedestal. (See photos). Contacting some professionals on majolica I was able to find out a little information on this beautiful piece. It seems that it was produced at the end of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century. It possibly was produced from one of the small manufacturers in Europe that typically produced majolica type read more
