Most Amazing Art Nouveau Weichmalerei Vase

This is an amazing vase made by KPM in the early 20th century during the Art Nouveau or Jugenstil period. Hard to describe such an beautiful piece and the pictures don't do it justice either!! The piece is hand painted with an amazing floral design that are very detailed in the softer tones of the Weichmalerei style. They look real enough to want to smell them. The flowers are just amazing and draped all over the vase. Different flowers on different sides and two amazing butterflies and a bee, too. . The colors are amazing and there are even small raised details to the flowers in white. Lots of raised relief design that is highlighted with gilding as well as shades of orange, yellow and light green and often fading from a darker color into a lighter version of the color. The top of the vase has some gold trim around the edge as well as a raised gold deisgn to the inside top. Like I said - hard to descibe but the piece has everything going for it including the size - it is 14.5 inches tall and has a diameter of about 6.5 inches. The top is about 6 inches at the wides from side to side. And the best part is that is is in perfect condition except for the tiniest bit of wear to the top outside gold ring and I think I saw a tiny scratch somewhere but I cannot find it now. The bottom is marked underneath with the underglaze blue scepter as well as the red orb mark, a painter's mark (not sure of the painter but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Aullich himself) as well as the usual impressed marks of the period. Made in Germany in a red rectangle. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
