Art Deco Style Hand-Painted Ceramic Vase with Floral Motif

This is a ceramic vase, likely made of earthenware or stoneware, featuring a vibrant, hand-painted floral design. The vase stands tall with a flared rim, a gently tapering body, and a wider, stable base. Its primary color is an off-white or cream, providing a neutral canvas for the bold Art Deco-inspired decoration. The central motif is a large, stylized flower, possibly an iris or daylily, rendered in shades of deep plum or purple, highlighted with lighter lilac or grey accents. The flower is surrounded by elongated, flowing leaves and stems, painted in various greens, from dark forest green to lighter chartreuse. The design extends from the mid-body downwards, with the base exhibiting abstract, curvilinear splashes of lime green, deep purple, and a prominent streak of crimson or deep red, suggesting roots or stylized design elements. The painting style indicates a transfer print with hand-painted embellishments or entirely hand-painted details, revealing brushstrokes and variations in opacity. The glaze appears glossy, uniformly covering the surface. No visible chips, cracks, or significant damage are apparent from the provided image, suggesting good overall condition. Patina appears consistent with its age and material, with no overt signs of repair. While specific maker's marks are not visible, the design aesthetic strongly suggests it could be an item from the Art Deco period (1920s-1930s) or a later revival piece, possibly from the mid-20th century, particularly given its elegant form and bold, decorative patterning typical of this era's decorative arts. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear lines and rich color application.
