A VIENNA-STYLE PORCELAIN VASE LATE 19TH CENTURY

by O. Zwierzina, signed, of scrolling overlapping form, painted with a classical maiden seated in a landscape between large bands of green and turquoise with gilt trellis and foliate scrollwork decoration, pseudo shield within crowned script D mark in blue.

There is a long fine haircrack to the body running from a point near the lower right corner of the fountain upwards between the upper right corner and the maiden's shoulder, ending about 1in. from the rim beneath gilt foliate border. There is a very minor pinhead chip to the edge of the molded leaf on the vertical scroll edge and some very minor occasional wear to the gilding of the rim and foot.
