NP-märkt blommig skål

[Gideon]

Den här bedårande lilla vasen skulle vara trevlig att ortbestämma, rentav få härleda till specifik upphovsman.







Signaturen kan tolkas på två sätt; NP. eller JNP.
Kan den vara fransk?

En mycket vild gissning
Gouda

"The New Porcelain series by W.P. Hartgring began production around 1910 and lasted for about 10 years; it resembled Porcelain Decor but with brighter colors and more defined patterns. The letters "NP" on the marks distinguish New Porcelain from Porcelain Decor, which was sometimes marked "Pb" for Porcelain flowers or "Pf" (unknown meaning). Another high-glazed group from PZH consisted of portrait vases with medallions showing photographically transferred pictures of great 17th century Dutch painters, such as Rembrandt and Van Dyke."

Stort tack för Ditt svar, bonnie.
Den tror jag på, och frågan väntar vidare på bekräftelse i Holland - där en storsamlerska kan ge besked.

Vasen gör inte mycket väsen av sig, och har väl därför klarat sig hel och hållen tills idag.
Men egentigen är det väl en kruka i miniatyr, och inte en skål?

Jag sände frågan vidare till en samlarvän i Holland, och fick svar rätt omgående.

"Your vase...
I doubt very much if this is a Gouda vase. In fact, I'm pretty sure it isn't.
N.P does stand for Nieuw Porselein but it was a pattern Hartgring developed at the Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland (Plazuid). This mark would always accompany the N.P. designs. N.P. would now also have been a good idea in these times of economic crisis, because it was designed to save costs (because less work on the painting).
Perhaps you can use google translate for the following link. It will tell you more about it

Also, Hartgring is one of our most renowned and skillful art nouveau artists. He also worked for Rozenburg. The pattern on your vase is not quite in line with his work. But still nice though, with this butterfly. (Reminds me of Frisian tiles of the 17th, 18th, 19th century, decorated with blue flowers and always a butterfly flying around this flower). These tiles were used to decorate the kitchen, hallways and so on."

Ojdå
Vi får väl leta vidare, det dyker säkert upp nåt. Jag läste på nätet om keramiktillverkning i Scottland, de hade blommor och insekter på vissa föremål.
Men Frankrike låter som mest troliga "andrahandsalternativ"
