HI :) I am pretty sure that this is Russian, but I do not have a clue :hlp: what the marks 'say, mean, or indicate'? Does anyone know ??? Also, does anyone know what age this would be from, and any value?
It is a high gold, marked like russian on the bottom. It is about 14 inches tall. I think it is pretty, but then I am wondering if it is worth more than I paid for it, and if it was a good flea market find?
Any information, most Welcome..... :kissy: THANKS in advance

It looks like Cyrillic letters but could be from any of several countries I suppose. It may be worth asking here http://groups.msn.com/SovietPorcelainCollectors/_whatsnew.msnw if they can throw any light on it AR, at least it might eliminate a few options if nothing else.

and this one: http://www.thefind.com/qq-Russian-Vase
and: http://www.1-800-porcelain.com/show-cases.html
Not sure if it will help for this vase, but checking...

I might have stumbled upon a hint for myself on this mark -- after a year...
Perhaps the GB on the bottom stands for either:
~ GODDARD BROTHERS of Czech Republic (Bohemia, Austria) or;
~ G. BENEDIKT KARLOVY, or also know as Gebr?der Benedikt
I tend to be leaning (maybe) more towards Goddard Brothers....right now, but still researching it....whow knows yet ???
Anyways, found this info @ http://www.collectorscircle.com/bohemian/porcelain/marks_table1.html#benedikt and it is the only thing close so far with intials GB...

I am going to BUMP THIS:
From Link (quote) of: http://www.collectorscircle.com/bohemian/porcelain/marks_table1.html
(about 3/4 of the Page down...still the closest MARK that I can find relating to this mystery FROM TWO YEARS AGO)
quote from above LINK:
"Goddard Brothers Marks
Goddard Brothers - Czech Republic (Bohemia, Austria)
This is pure hearsay. Because my birthname is Goddard I had to include this mark.
I found this information on eBay and have not been able to verify it. The seller of a piece with a Mark like this one claims it to be used by a factory named Goddard Brothers in Czechoslovakia in the 1930's and 1940's. However, Gebr?der Benedikt has a Mark very similar to this a heart, crown, and Czecho - Slovakia, without the GB in the center. As intriguing as it is to me to have china with my birthname, I suspect it is really a Gebr?der Benedikt mark."
I am leaning towards GODDARD for this piece I have posted here -- since mine does have the GB in it.....but still NOT confirmed...

If the first 2 letters are IS then it can't be Russian
If the centre initials are GB then can't be Russian
-
Do they not have these letters in the Russian alphabet?

Correct.
Their letters for I, S & G are different as shown at the Russian alphabet site, link posted earlier.

I wonder if it's Glassvon, it looks similar to these from the Glassvon 2007 catalogue...

Fixed it Rose, there was a rogue space snook into the link when I wasn't looking! :) It's all in Russian but the catalogues are linked from the third red button down on the left.
