Transferware Portrait Vases -- real and fake

Portrait vases with a 'sepia' look picture of a lady are relatively rare for a mass produced product.  They come in various shapes and colors.  They are most often brown or sometimes blue.  The portrait is almost always of a young brunette woman, the transfer print may be embellished with hand painting. They date from around 1900.

Despite a rather uniform look they can be made by various manufacturers from Europe and Russia. The don't generally have much value due to being cheaper ware at the time and changes in taste, but may rebound as they can fit well into the increasingly popular BoHo or shabby chic décor (which can easily accommodate their Victorian style). Depending on style and size they might go for $20-100.  Fun to collect and might increase in value.

The example shown below is most likely a Chinese made fake.
