Thomas Germany Porcelain Vase

This is a ceramic vase, likely porcelain, manufactured by Thomas Germany. The vase exhibits a dark, possibly navy blue or black, glossy exterior glaze, which reflects light, indicating a smooth, polished finish. The rim of the vase, as seen from the top-down perspective, features a thin, metallic gold band, adding an element of elegance and accentuating the opening. The interior of the vase appears to be glazed in a contrasting light cream or off-white color. The most distinctive features are located on the unglazed or less-glazed base of the interior, showcasing the manufacturer's mark. The mark consists of the word "Thomas" positioned vertically on the left, next to a detailed emblem featuring a stylized 'R' within a rectangular shield-like design, and the word "Germany" horizontally below the emblem. This mark suggests the item was produced post-WWII, when 'Germany' replaced 'West Germany' or 'East Germany' on many manufacturer stamps, placing its likely age from the mid-20th century to more contemporary times. Below the main mark, there are numerical markings: "07862" and "48", which likely represent a model number, pattern number, or internal production codes. In terms of condition, the visible surfaces appear to be in good condition with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant abrasions. The glossy exterior finish seems intact, and the gold rim appears continuous. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, typical of German porcelain manufacturers known for precision and durability. The construction indicates a mass-produced, yet finely finished, decorative item.
