I purchased this vase today but can't seem to find any info on it.  I found a picture of similar one on Alamy.com but have no idea if this is worth anything.088CA05C-CB17-430C-97B1-C9CF5FEBEA6A.png

FYI, the piece you found online, although it may be the same shape, is not the same material. It is described as Parian, which is a type of unglazed ceramic. Your piece is shiny, and has been glazed. Does your piece have as much detail in the shape as can be seen in the B&W picture, and does it have the textured background behind the eagle?

Alamy is a website that offers stock photos, for people to use if they pay a licensing fee. The captions are not necessarily reliable information. I would take that information as a possible starting point, but you need to find a better source.

 

I can't be sure, but its possible that Alamy picture came from this website. Unfortunately, I can't find any way to search for items on this site.

Thank you for taking the time to share the info.  Mine just looks a bit primitive.  It does not have the design details.  Thank you!
