Hi, I have a large blue Zsolnay vase with gold design and gold handles with
a picture of a rococo women sitting with a man at her side also in a french
rococo outfit. The markings on the bottom states Zsolnay, made in Hungary and
initials I beleive to be FIM or EIM (it is faded and I can't make it out). There
is also a design of the Pecs "torony". It's been in our family for
several decades. I have never seen this deep coblat blue color with a landscape
painting on Zsolnay before. If you have any information, please let me know.
Thank you.
