Hello there, I inherited two large vases which are handpainted. I cannot make out the name underneath only that it says handpainted and has a gold No 5 in the centre and a number 26 in red stamped on them. The are pale green, with branches and leaves of trees with two birds on them - the one differs by the branch being broken as if it has a love connection. There are beautiful flowers as well and a quite a lot of raised gold trimming - also has a type of gold painted handle on each side as if it could be carried there.
My late brother-in-law lived in London for many years and when he passed away a few years ago we were left these two vases.
Is there anyone who would know anything about them or where I could find out something about them.
Many thanks
Regards
Linda

Linda,

1) Why do you think these are Asian?

2) Nothing can be told about the vases without in-focus well-lit pictures, especially of the bottom and all markings; details such as dimensions are necessary.

This site is useful for identifications.

Good luck,
Cal
