✅ SOLVED Please help me identify this VASE (in a pair)

[alicew]

My mum has TWO of these vases.. they are both exactly the same and have been in our family for a long time (at least 100 years), but no one has any idea where they came from or who acquired them..
We are from New Zealand originally but they look oriental? They measure approx. 13 inches tall by 8 inches wide.
In excellent condition, and they have survived a few earthquakes!
I can upload more photos if need be.
They don't have any markings or stamps anywhere
Does anyone have an idea about how old they may be, if they are worth anything etc?
Thanks

First, I noticed this is your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting your state for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

I can tell you they are at least 100 years old! Sorry alicew - I just couldn't resist. I must agree with sutphi - they are very nice. I am sure a member will jump in shortly with an estimate.

The style is turn of the 20th C.

Do a Google image search on "art nouveau ivory blush vase" and you will see some similar vases.

Since yours is not marked,the value will be lower.

Lovely family heirloom piece though.

Nippon Vases?

 

[bigfoot1]

I agree with u.s.a.1
It looks like a nippon hand painted vase late 19th to early 20th c.the link will make you feel pretty good about it,shown vase is also unmarked and worth several thousand dollars.

and yours.. ..note similar shape,handles and paint style.

It certainly does look very similar to the one above.. wow we are pretty shocked it could be worth that much.. and we have two of them!
I have contacted some auctions for an appraisal so fingers crossed.. although not sure if we would part with them or not, but nice to know they may be worth something.
Thank you everyone for your help.. its been a mystery in our family for years as to what origin these vases are!

I see this thread says solved, but took a look. As an avid Nippon collector, I would say, its not Nippon. I am thinking German something. Hate to say it, I 'd walk by it if it were on a table.

I agree, looks like Blush Ivory German or Austrian to me. Art Nouveau era.

 

[redstar]

yep, would agree with that.
