19thC Figural Spill Vase

This is an interesting piece made by a Vienna factory in the 1830s - can't read the last date number but probably 1835. It is interesting as it is in the French / Paris taste instead of the traditional Vienna taste but this was towards the end of the factory so they probably tried whatever they could to keep te factory from going under and the taste of the period was French for sure. The piece is a figural spill vase with the lady firurine on one side holding a basket filled with flower on her head, an empty tree stump by her side and a nice base with gold scrolls all around. It's a nciely done piece and could pass as being from one of the nicer French factories for sure but it's marked so there is no doubt it is from Vienna. The top of the flower pot has a small hole in it to put the little glowing wood piece into and whe it was done it could be discarded in the stump or there could be more wood pieces there ready for use. The figure is very nicely dressed! The entire piece is in great condition with a very minor touch of wear but it displays perfectly! The entire piece is 6.875 inches tall, 3.75 inches wide and 3 inches deep. It is marked underneath with the impressed beehive / shield mark, the impressed date code 835 (last digit is hard to read) and an impressed number 5 as well as a dot as shown.
