This
elegant antique vase features a classic Art Noveau pattern of a well-appointed swag, drape, and flower on a swirling cloud-like tan background, all brilliantly topped by a dark cobalt blue upper rim.
The bottom of the vase has several markings, including the Lion and Crown Royal Doulton mark of 1902-1922, as well as the number "6673", a flip-mirrored double "f", the lettering "BBo"(?), and a rather faint inscription which appears to be "WG" for the artist Walter Gandy (please see close-up photos below).
