German pate-sur-pate porcelain vase, Rudolstadt Strauss, early 20th c., with parcel-gilt trim, above tapering body, depicting the Greek goddess Psyche perched on a foliate branch, on muted pink ground, maker's mark and impressed numeral 2058 underfoot, approx 11"h, 5"diam, 3.5lbs **Provenance: Dallas, Texas: When the madness of collecting collides with connoisseurship**

09/10/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT : 1466- the vase appears overall intact, I observe only some overall typical wear to gilding with some rubs and loss, a very small imperfection/chip to one raised foliate, however it is glazed over, so is possible a flaw from manufacturing, the piece would benefit from a gentle cleaning as I note some light sticker residue and dirt to interior, there is light wear underfoot, all as commensurate with handling and display
