Lucy, I'm just getting back to these posts and have only read the two posts that follow mine. I'll answer this without reading the rest so they don't influence my answer.
About a year ago I spent some time trying to find out the difference between Nouveau and Deco so basically I know more about these two than all the rest. My guess would be some form of Eastern influenced style, maybe Arab or Indian. I know nothing of Gouda but suspect I am about to learn a few things about it.

Normally I wouldn't say anything, but I'm becoming concerned. In a motherly Aunt Bea "why, what seems to be the matter, dear?" sort of way, of course.
You see, this is only about the sixth time this week you've mentioned aebel...ealeb...abela...oh screw it, you know, that word.
Were you frightened as a child on Halloween when an Aebleskiver dressed up as Freddy Krueger and showed up at your front door?
Were you forced to write "I will not play with my Aebleskiver in class" 100 times on the blackboard?
Were you tragically disfigured in an explosion at the local Aebleskiver factory?
We're all here to help, you know. You can tell us.

For those in the Boston area, the Victoria and Albert Museum's Art Deco exhibit will be opening soon (if not already) at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. We saw this in San Francisco, and it is wonderful. Will give you a good idea of the wide range of art deco design.
It would not be misleading to characterize this Gouda vase as art deco in feeling - there were many influences on art deco - probably some of the same that influenced the Gouda output. Influences such as folk art, ancient arts and African, etc. Not all art deco was sharp and mechanical. In any event, it is probably not even relevant, as most collectors will probably just be searching on "Gouda, -cheese" .

I don't think anyone would even question it if you were to use Deco or Nouveau or both as it just has that feel IMO. Can't you see it in a room full of Art Deco Furniture. I can but then I can see it in an Eames Era room too. It should sell well regardless. So just do whatever make you feel comfortable.
Good luck

Just curious, but I noticed the markings " '77"
I'm not a pottery expert, but what does the '77 mean? What markings are you referring to? I've seen tons of pottery that looks old, but ends up being very good reproductions created in the 70's-90's and on...

The idea is to get lookers in to make up their own minds. I was thinking of a simple, straight forward title like " Art Deco Nouveau Minty Gouda Vase, Chabby Chic Nude Sex L@@K!"

Hi Rusty,
177 is the pattern number. The year is indicated by the triangle-topped mark that's next to the PZH house symbol. It's the mark for 1930.
The number at the top, 428 with an inverted Y, is a batch number. Djalo is the pattern name, J v V are the initials of the artist who painted the piece.
