Can anyone help with who made or any information about this vase? I picked it up at a garage sale this morning and it looks old. No markings. 16" tall.

The inside looks to be porcelain. The 2 animals look to be female lions. The women is not carrying anything. Thanks for the help.

If the woman is carrying arrows and bows for hunting with two dogs,then it could be Hunting goddess Diana ,but you said she carries no weapons and those are 2 lions,then who knows?
Unmarked European pottery are reproductions could be made in Japan or some no name company in Europe.

I know very little about such pieces. The pose looks familiar. I think it comes from a larger mythology mural and the lady and animals which I think are wild dogs are part of the scene.

A beautiful vase, and very well made. It looks to be German or Austrian and maybe from the turn of the century.

Thanks for all your help. I think the Austrain might be right as I found a Dux vase that looks something like mine. By the way I found my Vase at a garage sale for $2.00
Ebay item= 400349012697

Lovely vase.
The subjet matter and the style certainly appear to be Royal Dux.
Here's some for you to look at.
Sorry I keep forgetting how to make these clickable

I need to go garage sailing with you.
Do you ever feel like you are offering a service to the collectors?
Someone could have purchased this vase and taken it home to put flowers and water in it.
You save it for a collector.
Very nice find.

Thanks everyone and Happy New Year. I put the vase on eBay and a collector put a $99.99 bid on it right away. Hopefully another collector will want it too.
