Mackintosh by Leonardo China Vase

The item is identified as a Mackintosh by Leonardo China vase, appearing to be in 'Very good' condition as per the accompanying text. This ceramic vase features a tall, rectangular body with a slightly flaring top and a stepped, rectangular base. The primary color of the vase body is a light cream or off-white, serving as a background for the distinctive Art Nouveau / Arts and Crafts style decoration. The design exhibits stylized floral motifs, specifically appearing to be roses or rose-like abstract forms, rendered in shades of purple or lilac with subtle pinkish-red accents for leaves or accompanying elements. These floral patterns are outlined in a dark color, possibly black or dark grey, and are set within elegant, flowing curves and geometric lines, reminiscent of stained-glass leading. The vertical edges and the stepped base of the vase are highlighted with a pale blue color, outlined with thin darker lines, giving a panelled effect. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with consistent coloring and clear lines in the decorative elements. No visible cracks, chips, or significant wear are apparent from the image. The vase's style is strongly indicative of an homage to Charles Rennie Mackintosh's design principles, particularly the Glasgow Style, which was prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Given it's a 'Leonardo' brand item, it is likely a modern reproduction or tribute piece, rather than an antique original, making its estimated age contemporary (late 20th to early 21st century).
