Cornucopia Horn Of Plenty Appraisal

Vintage Ceramic Cornucopia Vase with Floral Medallion

This item is a small, off-white ceramic vase, designed in a cornucopia or horn-of-plenty shape. It stands vertically on a flat, oval-shaped base, with the opening flaring upwards and outwards, giving it an elegant, somewhat whimsical silhouette. The material appears to be glazed ceramic or porcelain, exhibiting a smooth, slightly glossy finish. The main body of the vase is adorned with intricate molded details. A prominent feature is a raised, oval-shaped medallion on the front surface, which is hand-painted with a cluster of small red and pink roses, accompanied by green leaves. Above this medallion, there is a delicate molded bow detail, emphasizing a classic, somewhat romantic aesthetic. At the base of the vase, on the lower right side, there are more molded floral details, depicting a flower with multiple petals and leaves, further enhancing its decorative appeal. The overall color is a subtle off-white or cream, which allows the painted floral details to stand out. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear molding and detailing. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear evident from the image, suggesting it is in good, possibly well-preserved, condition. The style points to a mid-20th century production, likely falling into the vintage decorative ceramics category. Its size appears relatively small, suitable for a single bloom or as a decorative accent piece. No specific maker's marks are visible in the provided images.
