It is handpainted in every detail; the flowerwork is gorgeous - the painting of a house in a rural landscape seems to be done by Jean Cornelis Hofman, a dutch post impressionistic painter who worked as a porcelain decorator before he got a freelance artist in 1909; it´s signed the way he signed his canvas paintings, please compare. ( last figur of the signature seems to be a 6 )
There seems to be the monogram of Adolphe Le Comte under the base too.
Hofman only worked for three years in this job so pieces with his decoration should be rare.
The vase seems to be crafted of stoneware with tin glaze + underglaze blue; the wear of the bottom ring shows a yellowish clay
Any information is most appreciated; friendly regards

My question would be, who was the manufacturer of this piece.
Wich auction house / gallery could estimate it properly.
I don´t have any clue about the significance of this piece for the collectors market; i don´t want to damage the prices, it seems to be rare.

Seems to me that this is underglaze painting on a white biscuit shard, greetings jvdh.
Hello, i thank you very much for your answer;
yes it´s underglaze blue painted; fully glazed bisquit may be - despite it seems to have a yellow tone where wear occured. ( maybe some everlasting dirt by the way )
I know that this is not typical Delftware; the end of 19th century brought some innovations.
But where to ask when not here ?
Sorry for my late reply; i didn´t realize there was an answer.
