What a beautiful and unusual vase! Made of very white porcelain, in the style of a French wedding vase. It has a handpainted pink roses and rosebuds with a background of a green forest and trees. It is accented with shiny gold, but is unmarked, so who made it, and when, is unknown. The wedding vase was traditionally given to the couple for their wedding day, for them to keep to display and remember that day.
The gold on the leaves, flower, and trim decorating the sides and highlighting the vase is so shiny, it looks like 22-24K gold. It is so shiny, that if your notice some pink reflected in the gold, that is the color of the shirt I was wearing when taking her pictures! This gold does show some wear, on the edges of the vase, the leaves, the flower, and the decoration around the base. The combination of worn shiny gold and handpainted flowers makes it truly unique, and that was a remembrance of a wedding day in the past, something to think about. It would be lovely to hold flowers, but beautiful enough to display in a bookcase or in a china cabinet all by itself.
The vase is 7 & 1/2 inches tall, and about 5 & 1/2 inches wide, and the base is 3 inches wide front to back. It is in excellent shape, with no chips, cracks, or crazing upon close examination with a bright light. The glaze is still very shiny inside and outside. The last picture I took with a bright flashlight shining from the inside of the vase.

I pack with lots of bubble wrap for safe shipping and ship out quickly, sometimes same day, always by next business day, and sometimes on Saturdays if I can get it packed and to the post office before they close at noon.
Any questions, please ask, and thanks for looking!
