Small Hand-Painted Ceramic Greek Vase with Dolphin

This elegant little vase is in the shape of a pitcher, with a pinched mouth and tall handle. Hand-painted a deep blue, against a mixed-color background the middle portion is painted with a light blue dolphin on one side and a flowering branch on the other side. On the bottom is the maker's mark "ATHINA CERAMICS" with a helmeted head in the center. A vintage item, there are a few tiny spots where there is paint loss (see photos) but these do not detract from its unusual beauty. H: 5.5" D: 3"
