Hi!

I am trying to ID a vase I just got. It's about 10" high; pretty light for its size. The glaze is this green & gold iridescent color, reminds me of Weller Sicard glaze. The design is very three-dimensional. It has a piece of tape on the bottom that says "1925" - might have been made in 1925, but I am not sure. The glaze is chipped in a couple of places and it seems to be a pretty thin layer on top of the body of the vase.

The shape is reminiscent of Art Deco.

Any ideas are much appreciated!

The design shows an Inca priest in ceremonial dress. I suspect the vase is a pottery copy of a traditional metal (eg. bronze) vase, made for tourists.
