AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful teardrop-shaped small vase, made of fine FAJANCE (terracotta with stanniferous glaze) by Royal Copenhagen.
The distinctive feature is the hand-engraved decoration on the surface (clearly perceptible to the touch), which gives the botanical motif depth and relief. The base enamel is white-crema with a speckle finish. Linea Diana.

Exact Year of Production: 1966, as indicated by the dating dash below the final 'N' letter of the word COPENHAGEN in the green mark.

Authenticity Marks (On the Base): The base is fully and clearly marked with the Crown Mark, the three hand-painted blue waves, the model code 1045/5142, the Painter's Monogram, and the date mark 1966. There is also a small original adhesive label (probably from a retailer or quality control), further attesting to its authenticity and history.
