Drip glaze stoneware vase, possibly Polish/German
Part of a joblot, so I'm waaaay out of my comfort zone. I'm assuming that it's early 20th century, but if earlier I can shift it to 'show & tell'.
A heavy (about 2.5 - 3kg) stoneware / earthernware vase with a blue and green drip glaze. 325mm / 12.75" tall. Very coarse base, and a fair amount of age-related knackerment.
Vendor suggested it could be from the Bunzlau or Bürgel regions.

Nope, no markings to the vase.
The seller is German, which would account for their initial attribution.
Having Googled lots of pottery from Bürgel, it does seem to fit in with the general 1850-1920 æthetic seen in pottery from the area - especially the drip glaze and coarse finish... but then the same could be true, I suppose, of many other European 'folk-industry' pottery towns from the same period.
It will live out its days as a chuckabout vase for my mother, because she's always complaining about never having any large vases for flowers and refuses to use any of the expensive glass ones I give her. So a firm attribution would be interesting, but not exactly a priority.
