Trio of egg-shaped porcelain vases with tripod feet

This set consists of three graduated porcelain vases designed in an ovoid, egg-like shape with serrated or 'broken shell' top edges. Each vessel is supported by three scrolled, cabriole-style feet that appear to be accented with gold-toned highlights. The porcelain surfaces feature a pale blue or celadon-tinted ground, decorated with floral motifs including large pink roses and smaller blue wildflowers. The floral patterns include raised white enamel 'dots' or impasto-style highlights, which is stylistically consistent with late 19th or early 20th-century European porcelain, such as items produced by companies like RS Prussia or similar manufacturers. No maker's marks are visible in the provided images, though the user-supplied text mentions identifying marks and numbers are present on the underside. Physical condition appears fair; the user notes a crack or scratch on the medium-sized vase, and visible wear is consistent with age, including potential thinning of the gilt accents on the feet and rims. These items are attributed to the late Victorian or Edwardian aesthetic period based on their form and ornate floral application, pending physical verification of the markings.

Based on the provided imagery, I have examined this graduated trio of egg-shaped porcelain vases. The ‘broken shell’ rims and cabriole tripod feet are consistent with the late Victorian or Edwardian aesthetic. Given the floral motifs and raised enamel highlights, these pieces are hypothesized to be of European origin, possibly consistent with production styles from manufacturers like RS Prussia. However, I cannot verify the specific maker from photographs alone; a physical inspection of the underside markings mentioned would be necessary to establish a more precise attribution. The value estimate is based on the assumption that these are period-appropriate pieces from a recognized turn-of-the-century manufacturer. I observed a visible crack or deep scratch on the medium vase and apparent wear to the gilt accents on the feet, both of which significantly impact the market value for collectors who prioritize pristine condition. From what I can see, the pale blue ground and impasto-style floral application suggest a desirable decorative quality, though current market demand for late 19th-century 'novelty' porcelain is generally stable but modest. To support this valuation, a specialist would need to verify the hallmarks and examine the porcelain body for translucency and manufacturing techniques. If these items were found to be modern reproductions or later 'in the style of' copies, the value would likely drop below $50 for the set. Conversely, if the markings connect these to a premium workshop like Royal Worcester or a high-tier RS Prussia mold, the value could exceed the current range. Authentication via in-person examination remains essential for a conclusive valuation.
