Long Description
I have what I believe is called a "portrait vase" in very delicate porcelain. There are no markings on the bottom. I do know the provenance as it was passed down to me by my grandmother and it belonged to her half sister born around 1880. I have the note that she put inside of it telling that it was given to her by her Sunday school class in 1903. I can't find much information on portrait vases unless they are European. Can anyone give me some information, and tell me what the value might be? Thanks so much.
History
Handed down to me by my grandmother. It belonged to her half-sister. The note in the vase says it was given to my great aunt by her Sunday school class in 1903. I assume it was new at the time it was given.
