Any thoughts on this lovely vase would be much appreciated. Looks c1910 or earlier to me. It has a lustre glaze, particularly showing in the pink paint. It looks like De Morgan/ Fulham Pottery school to me. Height 6 inches approx. No marks anywhere unfortunately.
Thanks, Pete

Lovely.
Tin glazed earthenware from Italy. Possibly from the Savona area.
It's a soft material so if it was any age one would expect chips and cracks in the glaze. They've been copying traditional designs like this for hundreds of years for the tourist industry. This looks perfect so probably a fairly recent piece.
