Applied Floral Vase

This is a really nice vase with applied flowers made in England in the 19th century. I am unsure as to the exact maker - first thought maybe very early Belleek but I am not very familiar with their wares and it could also be Copeland or Coalport or Minton or any of those types of makers. If someone has a better knowledge of this type of piece a quick email would be appreciated! The vase has a very good quality and detailed 3D floral decoration on the front as well as the back, nice reticulated handles highlighted in gold and turquoise, a reticulated neck also highlighted with those two colors and a nice foot with the top section reticulated and highlighted with gilding. The main body and foot are two separate piece and held together with a screw as shown. The flower decoration is superb as I ahve tried to show in pictures. Very fine and thin flowers and leaves. The piece is really in great condition considering the nature and age of it. There is off course some damage to the flowers but it is minor and does not detract from the overall appareance of the vase. The glaze has soe crazing in areas, there is a bit of gold trim wear and an area of the main body near where it meets with the foot was missed during the glazing process and has stained a bit since. Not a repair - it is original to the making. The top looks like it might have had a lid to it at some point but I am not sure. Overall a very high quality piece that truly is elegant. The vase is not really marked except for an incised 139 inside the foot as shown. The piece is 9.125 inches tall, 4.375 inches wide and 5.5 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
