About this piece
The vase has the characteristic Regina shape with a high, pointed loop handle that rises above a slender neck. The body is round and sits on a small foot.
The decor is Presto. Flame-like, sunburst motifs in orange, ochre yellow, turquoise, light blue and purple stand out against a black ground. Small cloud-like panels in the same colours sit on the handle.
The base is hand-lettered with the factory name REGINA, a crown mark, PRESCO, model number 33/2, the painter's monogram W.B. and GOUDA HOLLAND.
Condition
- A fine line runs across the loop handle on each side, at about the same height. It is a glue line of an old join.
- Remnants of a gold paper label on the lower body.
- Light surface marks in the black glaze.
- Dust and wear on the unglazed foot ring.

Gouda matt plateel
This vase dates from the heyday of Gouda matt plateel, in the 1920s and early 1930s. Pieces from this period are hand-painted in matt glaze, often with bold, flame-like motifs on a dark ground. The Presto decor on this vase is a clear example of the Art Deco style.
