Ceramic Floral Decorated Vase/Mug

The item is a small, cylindrical ceramic vase or mug, intricately decorated with a floral motif. Its primary colors include a warm orange-yellow gradient at the base transitioning upwards into darker hues, possibly leading into a black or very dark background for the floral elements. The floral design features large, stylized blooms in shades of yellow, cream, and possibly muted reds or deep pinks, interspersed with green foliage. The painting appears detailed, suggesting hand-application or a high-quality transfer at minimum, showcasing good craftsmanship in the design execution. The surface has a glossy finish, indicative of a glazed ceramic. The base is flat and unglazed, revealing the natural ceramic color, which appears off-white or cream. Handwritten markings on the base include 'M.S.C. 958' and '1980SCPG' with additional illegible characters or symbols, possibly production codes, inventory numbers, or an artist's or studio's internal marking. A green sticker with '£5' written on it indicates a price. The overall condition appears good with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear on the decorated exterior. The craftsmanship suggests it might be a piece from a recognized pottery studio or artist known for decorative ceramics, possibly from the mid to late 20th century given the style and markings. The item's compact size indicates it is likely a decorative accent piece or a small functional container for flowers or holding pens, rather than a large centerpiece.
